A real 1980s vibe. Nice music used to play with your emotions. Excellent filmography esp the dance moves.

Even though I had never seen "Flashdance" before, the film felt very familiar to me. That's certainly because the key moments have all been parodied thousands of times. And the main reason is that the dance sequences are fantastic. For a dance film, these are solid foundations. And the music video look, which was fresh at the time, is also appealing. Furthermore, the 80s soundtrack is phenomenal, and Jennifer Beals is a really strong lead. She is incredibly charismatic and has the perfect look. Unfortunately, the romance part didn't work for me at all, which on the one hand is due to the not-too-strong chemistry between Beals and her co-star Michael Nouri and on the other hand to a few red flags that are a bit disturbing from today's point of view. But it couldn't really drag me down; all in all, the film is a lot of fun. I'm a big fan of dance films anyway, and "Flashdance" definitely ranks in the upper quality range.

Entertaining drama with an amazing soundtrack and great performance from Jennifer Beals. Not the strongest story at times but still was enthralled through its reasonable 90-minute running time. **3.75/5**

Aside from the toe-tapper that was Irene Cara's title song, the rest of this film is really only notable because it shows the sheer determination of a young woman - "Alex" (Jennifer Beals) to make it. Initially, in a man's world as a welder more than holding her own, whilst at the same time she want More
