Top Critics Reviews

rotten:
Jennifer Beals shouldn't feel bad. She is a natural talent, she is fresh and engaging here, and only needs to find an agent with a natural talent for turning down scripts.

rotten:
Depressing to think that this was a huge hit on the back of the Irene Cara hit single, since there's absolutely nothing to it.

rotten:
Virtually plotless, exceedingly thin on characterization and sociologically laughable, pic at least lives up to its title by offering an anthology of extraordinarily flashy dance numbers.

Flashdance might be considered one of the first signs of Hollywood's Apocalypse.
