This self-involved and irony-free endeavour is enough to set neo-noir back a decade, if not more.

Dance of the Geisha has an interesting premise with capable direction that’s undone by a confusing and baffling script.

Despite the distinct, original vision, Huang’s charges are unable to execute this bold premise—with a few notable exceptions.

Whether someone enjoys “Dark Feathers: Dance of the Geisha” exclusively depends on the knack for enjoying this type of films, essentially low budget Tarantino-style ones. Those, however, will definitely have a lot of fun with this.

The movie is abstract but worth watching for sure. Asian American women have long been stereotyped by mainstream media as exotic and submissive, this movie portrays different aspects of Asian Women successfully. I wish there were more locations for the movie and the movie show times could be easier for us to watch.

If you like ballroom dance and mystery, then this film is for you! The ballroom dancing choreography was stand-out and the action scenes were also wonderful. I would love to see how Kates character develops as well as many other characters who were introduced.
