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 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...

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
At once atrocious and awesome, featuring musical performances so sublime you instantly forgive that the rest is so ridiculous.

As a debut and a savvy statement of personal enterprise, Purple Rain is quite an accomplishment. As a film, moreover, it is precisely the sort of vehicle one would have wished for Elvis in his Hollywood heyday.

Monthly Film Bulletin
Description by OLDIES.com:
Take a richly-human story of survival and triumph, a new soundtrack by the hottest bands around and the startling presence and musicality of rock superstar Prince - the man who lived the music - and you've got what may be in Rolling Stone's words "the smartest, most spiritually ambitious rock-'n'-roll movie ever made."
Product Description:
A brilliant, talented young musician struggles for success even as a rival musician threatens to supplant him, both professionally and romantically. "Purple Rain" features Prince, in his own inimitable style, performing many of his latest hits, including "Purple Rain," "When Doves Cry," and "Let's Go Crazy." Academy Awards: Best Original Song Score.
