Los Angeles Herald Examiner

Rotten

Star 80 is a classic example of a movie that exemplifies what it attacks.

Fresh

Star 80 doesnt always make for pleasant viewing, but whether shining or morose, it captivates with every frame. Just as Virgil led Dante through Hell, Fosse wants to guide viewers into Hollywoods seedy underside.

Fresh

The film frames domestic abuse and an American tragedy with forensic detail.

Certain splendid details... justify, in part, the director's ambitions. [Full Review in Spanish]

Bob Fosse, who delivered a razzle-dazzle like no other director, couldn't help but convey with a horrifying verisimilitude the darkest side of the glamorous life he cherished.
