Vincent Canby
The focus of the movie is so wide, and the logistics of the production so heavy, that Oliver himself, dutifully played by 9-year-old Mark Lester, gets flattened out and almost lost, as if he had been run over by a studio bulldozer.
Rich Gold
There's plenty of mileage left in the famous story.
After a season of watching inane twitching in the name of dance, the viewer is most happily greeted by Onna White's choreography, an exuberant step-by-step exploration of Victorian zeal.
Dave Kehr
In retrospect, it seems emblematic of the triviality Reed descended to in the last years of his career. The Third Man it's not.
Reed is craftsman enough to make an efficient family entertainment out of Lionel Bart's musical, but not artist enough to put back any of Dickens' teeth which Bart had so assiduously drawn.
Roger Ebert
A treasure of a movie.

Fast Forward (1985)
Music
4
Eight talented teenagers from a small town come to New York City for a one-in-a-million shot at stardom in a national dance competition. Their high-powered energy is captured by director Sidney Poitier in dazzling dance sequences. From the fast-moving rhythms of contemporary street dancing to jazz and classical ballet, they strut their stuff through exhausting rehearsals, numerous auditions and tense nightclub face-offs. In the process, the teenagers get a crash course in self-sufficiency in a city that challenges them to survive, compete and grow. The odds are against them, but in the film's exciting climax, they put it all on the line to make their dreams come true. A host of fresh-faced newcomers are featured, including: Michael DeLorenzo (TV's "New York Undercover"), John Scott Clough (Phantoms), Don Franklin (Asteroid), Tamara Mark (Wes Craven's New Nightmare) and David White (TV's "Bewitched"). Fans of Fame, Footloose, Center Stage and Save the Last Dance will savor this vintage eighties musical romp. Newly remastered. © 1984 Columbia Pictures Industries, Inc. All Rights Reserved.
