4/5
"You'll need to swallow your preconceived notions, but I would not hesitate to recommend the film to just about anyone."  Filmcritic.com  Christopher Null

3.5/4
"With a movie based on the porn industry, you’d expect it to be trashy, cheap, and even tawdry. But it's not."  Cinemaphile.org  David Keyes

3.5/4
"...Paul Thomas Anderson cements his reputation as one of the most gifted filmmakers of his generation..."  Reel Film Reviews  David Nusair

B-
"The flashy style cannot hide the slight story."  Ozus' World Movie Reviews  Dennis Schwartz

3.5/4
"Boogie Nights isn't just an expose of the porn industry -- it's a provocative and involving character study, as well."  ReelViews  James Berardinelli

"I want to write a long essay on this because it's a complicated film experience but it's really great! The acting is great, the review (this one) is poorly written"  Cinerina  Karina Montgomery

4/4
"'You're a star,' goes the film's final line. Truer words cannot be spoken about Paul Thomas Anderson."  Mr. Brown's Movies  Michael Dequina

5/5
"Os diálogos são afiadíssimos, e Paul Thomas Anderson permite que seus atores se sintam livres para interpretar, sem preocupações com questões técnicas."  Cinema em Cena  Pablo Villaca

3/5
"Probably the most enjoyable complete overrated swipe ever made."  eFilmCritic.com  Rob Gonsalves

8/10
"A searing indictment of not only the adult entertainment industry, but the whole value-free Hollywood lifestyle of the late 1970s and 1980s. At the same time it has a certain sympathy for its characters."  Laramie Movie Scope  Robert Roten
