1/5
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. Go to Full Review Sandie Angulo Chen Common Sense Media 10/23/2015
3/5
Edgy dance drama explores pitfalls of seeking Internet fame. Go to Full Review David Noh Film Journal International 10/09/2015
So numbingly uninvolving and rote that it could well rank as the blandest movie musical ever made. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

06/10/2018 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. See more 03/16/2016 This was a pretty decent movie. See more 01/29/2016 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. See more 11/11/2015 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 See more Read all reviews
