"Flashdance...what a feeling - Irene Cara"
"While it is an iconic 80s film it's not exactly my kind of entertainment. I will admit to appreciating some of the techniques more than I thought I would."
"First-time I have seen this since it's initial cinema release back in 1983. Small town girl who works as a welder during the day and dances in a club at night, dreams of becoming a classically trained dancer. Plot-wise it's as thin as paper with little or no real character development but the music is good, Adrian Lyne's direction is flashy and Jennifer Beal, even though doesn't do the dancing, is a likeable lead. It just feels very empty."
" Starz- 1hr. 34min. First Viewing Flashdance is an exceptionally made film. The dancing, the editing, the look, the sound; it all makes for a technically superb film. Unfortunately, the story is chock-full in plot contrivance, terrible characters and unrelenting cheese. While this does make the film fun at times (though it's weirdly sincere streak undercuts that), but it's more often a slog. If it wasn't for an endearing performance from Jennifer Beals, it would be near-impossible to care about "
