It could have been a mess, and there are patches where Robbins's inspiration wears a little thin; yet, all in all, his ambitious tolerance pays off...

The let's-put-on-a-show energy can be intoxicating. But man, does it take a long time to achieve that high.

... a rare moment of cinema capturing the immediacy and charge of live theater on the screen and it’s the heart of Robbins’ often exhilarating film.
