This is one of the most intelligent and compelling movie musicals in a long time - and the most grown up.
Chorus often seems static and confined, rarely venturing beyond the immediate. Attenborough merely films the stage show as best he could.
Richard Attenborough's direction achieves that balance of impersonality and brisk pacing we've come to recognize as "professionalism," and he doesn't clog up the dancing with too many stylistic gimmicks.
In this stately and fairly slavish representation, directed by Richard Attenborough, what pokes through with the pain of a broken bone is how thin the material really is. [12 Dec 1985]
A Chorus Line is less a movie than an expensive souvenir program.
When director Richard Attenborough isn't mangling dance numbers, he's focusing on a love story expressed almost entirely by means of close-ups of moony faces and teary eyes. [12 Dec 1985]
