David Lewis San Francisco Chronicle [It] puts the art of dance in a whole new light, and it's fitting that a documentary about her is so well choreographed, too. Jun 30, 2020 Full Review Radheyan Simonpillai NOW Toronto The doc feels more padded than the floor mats Streb's gravity-defying dancers bounce off. Rated: 2/5 Oct 23, 2014 Full Review Katie Walsh The Playlist "Born to Fly" is a special film about an artist very much dedicated to an original vision, one that articulates the relationship of human bodies to space and time, and strength and resilience towards unstoppable and unmovable forces beyond our control. Rated: A- Sep 30, 2014 Full Review Stephen Saito Moveable Fest Gund is able to capture the magic of what Streb does, which is no small feat, as well as the provocation of her work, which asks what is art not in terms of transcendence but of sweat‎ and tears. Nov 20, 2018 Full Review Jamie S. Rich Oregonian ...stretch[es] the boundaries of expression while examining the limits people go to test themselves physically and emotionally. Rated: 3/5 Sep 26, 2014 Full Review Daniel Walber Nonfics Born to Fly is a solid profile of choreographer Elizabeth Streb, but it misses the opportunity to more effectively capture the blunt physicality of her work with the tools of cinema. Rated: 3/5 Jun 5, 2014 Full Review Read all reviews

Audience Member Profoundly moving, inspiring and exceptional. Elizabeth Streb and her dancers are defining dance for themselves unapologeticlally and even if it's not what you're used to aesthetically the enthusiasm and form is testimony of a life time of thought, blood, sweat and tears. I was poetically moved and wanted to feel what it was like to be an action hero! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/16/23 Full Review Audience Member An Interesting Look At People Dedicated To Their Art, Warts & All. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/21/23 Full Review Read all reviews
