"Minnesotian rock star Prince soars to 80's iconic status in this semi (very semi)-autobiographical yarn about a Kid and his music. The leader of The Revolution, he plays at a club that acts as a step towards stardom for any musical act with dreams and ambitions of making it. And one such act comes in the form of a voluptious singer named Apollonia. Who, after a failed attempt of purification, ends up riding with the Kid, both on his bike and on his journey to a Purple Reign. "

“I wasn't really sure what to expect from this flick but since it seems to have a decent reputation, I thought I might as well check it out. First of all, I have to admit that I have never been a huge fan of Prince above all because his style was just too over-the-top for my taste but, while watching this flick, I suddenly became aware that I knew only a couple of his songs. Well, in this movie, he definitely displayed some major skills and the music was really good, especially the title song. Still, was it really a good movie? Not really, I'm afraid. I mean, in the same genre, it actually had more or less a plot which was more than you can say about 'Moonwalker' from Michael Jackson and, at least, it wasn't exactly dealing with a rising star who would finally reach some mainstream success ” read more

"Princen kuolemasta tuli tänään kuluneeksi vuosi ja täytyihän sitä Prince-fanina nyt Purple Rain katsoa. Eihän tämä elokuvana ole kovinkaan hyvä - toki muutama hyvä kohtaus kyllä löytyy - mutta ei tätä draaman takia katsota. Tätä katsotaan musiikin takia ja turha sitä on kiistää, energiaa tässä riittää keikkavedoissa ja biisit ovat täyttä rautaa. Vaikea uskoa että ne on useista eri otoista kasattuja, koska ne rullaavat uskomattoman hyvin. Se miten minusta tuli Princen "

"16/4/17 Prince's first feature film is a heady mix of performance and drama, as he plays The Kid, a singer coping with an abusive father, while dealing with a dissatisfied band and falling for a new girl in town, while his star is rising. The film isn't that great and only Morris Day adds a level of charm to the acting but once Prince starts performing, the film moves into another level. The title song is just heartbreaking."
