Boogie Nights is an epic of the low road, a classic Hollywood story set in the shadows instead of the spotlights but containing the same ingredients: Fame, envy, greed, talent, sex, money. The movie follows a large, colorful and curiously touching cast of characters as they live through a crucial turning point in the adult film industry. — Roger Ebert, 1997.

Pretty much everything clicks here. — Patrick Meaney

A memorably penetrating motion picture. — James Berardinelli
