Critic Reviews of "Purple Rain"
VarietyApril 21, 2016Rock star Prince makes an impressive feature film debut in Purple Rain, a rousing contemporary addition to the classic backstage musical genre.
Chicago ReaderApril 21, 2016Prince's 1984 movie debut seems more like his deification, with an aggressively stupid plot line that serves only to set him up as a paragon of artistic integrity, sexual prowess, and superhuman sensitivity.
Arizona RepublicJuly 29, 2009It's probably best to think of the film as an extended music video, a watershed moment for movie sound tracks, and not much more.
Time OutJune 24, 2006[The plot] is all no more than fancy padding around the film's heart, which only starts to really pump when Prince is up on stage: a teasing, hot amalgam of Marc Bolan, Nijinsky and the Scarlet Pimpernel, as electric as his guitar.
New York TimesAugust 30, 2004[Purple Rain] is probably the flashiest album cover ever to be released as a movie. However, like many album covers, Purple Rain, though sometimes arresting to look at, is a cardboard come-on to the record it contains.
sbs.com.auMay 11, 2017The film is a love letter to collaboration, to passion, and to the power of music: this is Prince's legacy, brought to life nowhere more memorably than in Purple Rain.
Monthly Film BulletinFebruary 22, 2017As a debut and a savvy statement of personal enterprise, Purple Rain is quite an accomplishment. As a film, moreover, it is precisely the sort of vehicle one would have wished for Elvis in his Hollywood heyday.
Omaha World-HeraldApril 21, 2016A viewer's response to the movie will probably relate directly to how much the viewer likes Prince to begin with.
OregonianApril 21, 2016The music is lively, loud, often powerful, sometimes raunchy, yet full of unexpected subtleties and nuances. The staging is frenetic but as perfect as the machines of the art can produce. This is first class music video.
