I watched Saturday Night Fever expecting some light dance movie but that is not at all what I got. This is a very hard R gritty 70s drama but it seems like everyone only remembers the amazing soundtrack(bring back Disco it rocks!). The movie hits hard and is at times a very hard watch, but I thought it was an excellent movie. When it was released in 1977 it was a massive hit at the box office where it would end the year as the #4 film only behind Star Wars, Burt Reynolds and Steven Spielberg movies. The famous critic Gene Siskel said this was his favorite movie of all time.
I will add a trigger warning: this movie has depictions of rape and sexual assault
