This documentary charts the artistic collaboration between the avant-garde dance troupe Pilobolus and author Maurice Sendak as they prepare the Holocaust-themed performance "A Selection." It's the first time the dance company has collaborated with someone outside the troupe, which leads to some tension.

Carrie Rickey Philadelphia Inquirer It's a rare window on an artistic collaboration. Rated: 3/4 Oct 31, 2002 Full Review Christine Temin Boston Globe Rehearsals are frequently more fascinating than the results. Last Dance, whatever its flaws, fulfills one facet of its mission in making me want to find out whether, in this case, that's true. Rated: 2.5/4 Aug 23, 2002 Full Review Clive Barnes New York Post Discursive but oddly riveting documentary. Rated: 3/4 Jul 12, 2002 Full Review Film Threat Rated: 3.5/5 Dec 6, 2005 Full Review Emanuel Levy EmanuelLevy.Com Rated: 2/5 Jul 24, 2005 Full Review Michael Wade Simpson culturevulture.net A fascinating look into the creative process Dec 1, 2004 Full Review Read all reviews
