Once... the woozy contact high of Roller’s impressively confident, hip style wears off, there’s not a lot left that makes a lasting impression in a densely populated category.

Fresh, honest and energetic, Dead Girls Dancing is a moving snapshot of the high price girls must sometimes pay to become women.

Dead Girls Dancing is so thin as to feel more like a music video, a short story pushed far past its appropriate length, or a high schooler’s prose poem than it does a feature film.

B-

"Dead Girls Dancing" soars in the second half when it gains energy and momentum, pivoting from its moody and somber tone to a more exciting and stakes-raising one.

Dead Girls Dancing is an uneven but well-acted drama about teenagers on a road trip that's more than what it first appears to be. It’s also a journey of a closeted queer teenager who's yearning to connect with someone with whom she can be her true self.

Dead Girls Dancing falls a little short in its third act when it tries to distance itself from the established moodiness and pivot... From this point onward, the tension is relatively disjointed and things become slightly hastier and messier.
