Mike McCahill Guardian In an ideal world, any dance movie's predictable narrative manoeuvres would be disrupted by the dynamism of its set pieces, but Breaking Through fails to function even on the basic level of cobbled together talent showcase. Rated: 1/5 Jul 25, 2018 Full Review Sandie Angulo Chen Common Sense Media Edgy dance drama explores pitfalls of seeking Internet fame. Rated: 3/5 Oct 23, 2015 Full Review David Noh Film Journal International So numbingly uninvolving and rote that it could well rank as the blandest movie musical ever made.

Audience Member A Random Selection Of 'Popping' Kinda Break-Dancing, With A Bit Of Contemporary Junk..Of Which Doing A Routine In A Moving Vehicle, Iiiiisss Probably Not A Good Idea To Promote To A YouTube Watching Generation. Overall The Story Is Drivelling In bourgeoisie BS. We Watch 'So-Called' Teenagers (Played By People In Their Mid-20s) Rabbit On About What They're Struggling With & How Dance Is So Important To Them..All With Their Perfect Skin & Hip Clothing..All Possibly Appealing To Teenage Girls..I Found My Self Throwing Up & Swallowing It Again. Yeah It Was That Bad. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 02/21/23 Full Review Audience Member This was a pretty decent movie. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/12/23 Full Review Audience Member This is a pretty decent movie about a dance crew trying to make a name for themselves. It is not exactly an original idea, but there are some darker elements to this crew's drama than there are in other similar movies. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/13/23 Full Review Audience Member It's not a movie that critics will love, but it isn't one to hate. Breaking Through is envolving and sweet, a very good movie if you like dance and youtube Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 01/20/23 Full Review Read all reviews
