Perhaps the grossly simplistic and unsubtle misogyny in young people's movies and videos is less damaging than polished acting would be.

...An impressive feature film....[The concerts] are splendidly realized musicvid-type affairs, awash in purple-hued smoky lighting atmosphere and right-on camera work...
Variety
Rating: 4/5 --
The live performances are dope...even The Time! However, the treatment of women was a bit abysmal, though at the time it was acceptable...the movie itself is entertaining.

Showcasing the performer at the height of his creative and commercial success....[T]he performances are nothing short of magical.
Entertainment Weekly
Rock star Prince makes an impressive feature film debut in Purple Rain, a rousing contemporary addition to the classic backstage musical genre.

...When performing on-stage...[Prince] can be a riveting spectacle...
New York Times
Rating: 4/5 --
The performances and score take it to another level, and as absurd as he is, Morris Day is, in a way, the glue holding this thing together...
