...tricks to make his audience feel like voyeurs: Fosse flatly hits you with the accusation that there is a little of Snider in all of us, that given a choice between a picture of Dorothy and the real thing, you'll take the snapshot, and make her into an object of your slavering fantasies, judging her only against Playboy's photo ideal of the perfectly formed "girl next door." Many tribal groups refuse to have their pictures taken, believing that the photographer captures the subject's soul along with the image. Fosse implies that you replace Dorothy's soul with...
...situation centers around the perceptions and nature of Americans themselves: In contrast to Europeans, Americans have apparently failed to integrate different aspects of life. They tend to compartmentalize love, sex, work, etc. But is this a sufficient excuse for Americans to prevent a woman from being treated as an object of sexual desire and an intelligent human being at the same time?

...portrayal of an adolescent girl caught up, giggly and unaware, in the excitement of a surprise party that someone, mysteriously, decided to throw for her is fresh and touching. And one that, in effect, concedes the dramatic center of the film to Eric Roberts, who plays Snider, obviously the object of Fosse's appalled interest from the first. Given the hypnotic power of Roberts' complex performance as this unsympathetic victim, one finds oneself in cringing agreement with the director's emphasis...
