FULL SPOILER-FREE REVIEW @ https://talkingfilms.net/saturday-night-review-capturing-the-chaos-and-magic-of-snls-first-broadcast/ "Saturday Night successfully captures the frenetic energy and spontaneous magic of the behind-the-scenes world of SNL, transporting us to the heart of the organized chaos of a live broadcast. Through engaging camera work and fast-paced editing, Jason Reitman and his team recreate the palpable nervousness and unique humor that shaped an iconic show. It's a celebration of the talents who came together to create one of the most enduring, influential phenomena in television history. An irresistible tribute to all who dared to dream big, even when success seemed unlikely." Rating: B+
