- Ebert said it was one of the greatest films he had ever seen and gave it four stars.
- Gene Sisko (as transcribed) gave it a thumbs down; he is called a little prudish with this material, and Saturday Night Fever is called his favorite movie.
- The thumbs-down review found interesting ground spoiled by a violent, unpleasant and unnecessary climax; Ebert answered that without the violent climax it would not be the same movie, and the two argued about it.
- The dissenting critic is thought to have possibly backtracked, and a joke says the film could have ended in a disco.
