Studio 54 is a 2018 American documentary film directed by Matt Tyrnauer.

Overview

A documentary about the Studio 54 discotheque in New York City, told from the point of view of Studio 54 co-owner Ian Schrager.

Critical reception

The New York Times wrote "The movie is a fast account that is sometimes a tad facile in its analysis of a cultural moment. But as Mr. Schrager's personal too-much-too-soon story, it's compelling."[1]

Film Threat said "This is could be one of the best documentaries I’ve ever reviewed. It’s a cultural piece of history that paints a picture of an era of New York that had a significant effect on the world. And it goes without saying, changed the nightclub industry forever. In fact, there still hasn’t been a club that has even come close to Studio 54 in all this time!"[2]
