Johnny Loftus Decider Jan 9
There is a ton of heart and a lot of lush looks in 10Dance’s portrayal of the burgeoning romantic bond between two pro ballroom dancers. Go to Full Review

Despite all the incredibly serious-looking faces throughout this film, it's hard to take it, well, seriously. Go to Full Review
James Hadfield Japan Times Dec 29
2/5
Playing more like an extended warm-up routine, “10 Dance” leaves the floor in anticipation of a sequel that it hasn’t earned. As dance movies go, this one doesn’t make it past the qualifiers. Go to Full Review
Kate Sánchez But Why Tho? A Geek Community Dec 19
8/10
As an adaptation, 10Dance understands the heart of Inoue Satoh’s manga, and as a film, director Keishi Otomo understands precisely how to craft a journey that embraces the audience. Go to Full Review
Lissete Lanuza Sáenz Fangirlish Dec 18
The Netflix live-action adaptation of the popular Japanese BL (boys’ love) manga by Inouesatoh, has come to Netflix with great choreography, the same level of yearning, slightly less racism, and a story as incomplete as the manga. Go to Full Review
Jonathon Wilson Ready Steady Cut Dec 18
2/5
Maybe there’ll be a more risqué sequel that makes good on all the build-up. As things stand, 10 Dance is a few silky steps shy of a full routine. Go to Full Review

angela c @Angie277 6d Absolutamente romántica, el guión, el baile. Magnífico See more Anagha P @Anaghapaul Jan 4 Ts shi gay as hell and I love shi that's gay as hell. See more Natalia F @Ntty82 Jan 4 I loved the story, and I fell in love with his characters. Very good adaptation, I look forward to the second part! See more Krystle B Dec 30 I loved this movie until the last leg of the story. It felt like whiplash when they went their separate ways only to reunite at the competition, have this beautiful moment, and then part ways again. It was very confusing. The worst part was the ending, though, because they never actually go to the final competition or end up together. Talk about abrupt! There's no closure! I don't know if that's how the comics went, but I feel robbed of a happy ending... See more Z B @Zeke_Baer Dec 29 As someone who has read the entire manga, this is probably the only adaptation I genuinely think is better than the source material. The manga has great concepts, but imo executes them fairly poorly and with a great degree of offensive undertones. The movie takes all the parts I loved about the manga and arranges them in a much more satisfying and enjoyable way. For those who are looking for a love story focused exclusively on romance/passion, this probably isn't for you. But as someone who prefers more grounded love stories (especially ones with a focus on friendship) this is everything I wanted and more. I also tend to love characters that are more morally complex and I feel like this movie does that very well (with Sugiki in particular). And, as is usual with Keishi Otomo, the cinematography is insanely gorgeous, and the soundtrack is great. See more Maya M @Aqyua Dec 29 It was a great movie! The acting was really good.
