Review of Footloose (1984) by Dave Kehr for Chicago Reader — 06 Apr 2002
The musical sequences are good enough that they make you wish Ross had been willing to leave the surface realism behind and break out into the high stylization and exuberance of the genre's classic days.
Despite the hesitations, it's miles above "Flashdance" in technique and intelligence.
