The Turning Point has its flaws - some overwritten scenes and lapses into staginess and sentimentality - but they are those of heady excess and are easily forgiven. One has the sense of a project perfectly matched to the people who made it. [28 Nov 1977, p.97]
The dancing is lovely, the story is secondary. [17 Nov 1977]
Herbert Ross directed, unexcitingly; there's no visual sweep, no lift.
