      Sheri Linden Los Angeles Times It's an affectionate and admiring collection of moments, but the director's wobbly choreography never locates a dramatic core for this corps' story. Nov 14, 2014 Full Review Kate Conger Village Voice Visually rich and heartwarming ... Nov 11, 2014 Full Review Rachel Saltz New York Times This is a sympathetic, even sweet, account, but it's too soft. Nov 6, 2014 Full Review S. Jhoanna Robledo Common Sense Media Compelling docu about young dancers who live for ballet. Rated: 3/5 Nov 24, 2014 Full Review Read all reviews

      Kenneth W As an "insider", I can attest that the film accurately captured the mood, spirit and tension around this incredible undertaking. If you want to know how it "feels" to be in a huge, high production value event with a huge audience, check this film out! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/19/23 Full Review Audience Member I love theater and performing arts. I think it teaches a person a great deal about life, hard work and respect. This film is a good snap shot of the essence and the value of art (in this instance, ballet). Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/26/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating
