Gene Siskel Chicago Tribune A beautifully made survey of '70s excess, filtered through the trashy world of the burgeoning porno film industry in southern California. Rated: 3.5/4 •  Mar 28, 2019 Full Review Mike Clark USA Today The pop 1970s were typified in part by cheesy fashions, ephemeral music and a regular diet of daring, cutting-edge movies that arguably made that decade Hollywood's richest. Blistering Boogie Nights recaptures the spirit of that time on all three counts. Rated: 4/4 •  Jan 10, 2018 Full Review
