Top Critics Reviews

rotten:
Unlike its grittily romantic predecessors, Flashdance is pure glitz.

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

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.

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.
