Documentary Studio 54 was the epicenter of 70s hedonism, a place that not only redefined the nightclub, but also came to symbolize an entire era. Now, 39 years after the velvet rope was first slung across the club's hallowed threshold, a feature documentary tells the real story behind the greatest club of all time.

	Media	Author	Review
		Peter Bradshaw The Guardian	"[A] lively but tactful documentary tribute (...) Entertaining (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"
		Owen Gleiberman Variety	"Matt Tyrnauer's thrilling and definitive documentary captures the delirium — and the dark side — of the legendary New York disco."
		John DeFore The Hollywood Reporter	"An enjoyable ride (...) Tyrnauer delivers a meaty and transporting portrait that will play well both with older auds and those (...) who, surprisingly, have never heard of the nightclub."
		David Ehrlich IndieWire	"Finally, the movie that Studio 54 deserves (...) Matt Tyrnauer’s riveting documentary manages to make it all seem new again"
		Geoffrey Macnab The Independent	"This is a vivid enough story but Schrager himself might have made a better subject for the documentary than the club"
		Laura Richards Time Out	"Some scenes in Matt Tyrnauer’s documentary will set your heart soaring like an amphetamine rush (…) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"
