Though Scheider is a wry, sensitive actor, he soon gets lost in the vulgar theatrics.

Almost every scene is excruciating (and a few are appalling), yet the film stirs an obscene fascination with its rapid, speed-freak cutting and passionate psychological striptease.
Dave Kehr, Chicago Reader
Fresh
A self-important, egomaniacal, wonderfully choreographed, often compelling film which portrays the energetic life, and preoccupation with death, of a director-choreographer.

Some of it makes you wince, but a lot of it is great fun.
Vincent Canby, New York Times

It's very pleased with itself.
