some of its seqeunces are fun but its all just a mask for the terrible story and characters.
no one is likeable. the people we meet are assholes or boring and have no personality at all. it shot decently well but really, idk why i should care because it all serves no purpose. yeah to move the story but if thats your only goal then really, why are you telling this story?
john trovolta gives a decent performance but the writing really lets him only be an asshole and a pig. not to mention the film out of the blue lets its character say slurs for no reason at all.

How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A working-class kid transforms nightly under the disco ball, but the film's unflinching look at his bleak weekday reality, sexual coercion, aimlessness, class entrapment, makes the dancing feel less like escape and more like a desperate performance of freedom.
