Aubree-Anna A Match a haystack is a beautiful and moving documentary showcasing the need for the arts in a difficult time. This documentary follows a group of Ukrainian dancers who decide to pursue their dreams even though they are currently living in a war zone. Even though in class we did not have the chance to watch all of this film I still feel incredibly moved by the resilience and determination these women had to continue to pursue their love for dance and shine a little light into a really difficult time. These women were not only brave enough to work on something that they're passionate about in the midst of War but they were also brave enough to go out into the destroyed remnants of their home to find inspiration. Overall this film highlights the beauty of humanity and how strong each one of these dancers are to continue making such beautiful art.

Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/06/25 Full Review Kevin G This documentary does a fantastic job at demonstrating what it is like living in Ukraine during the war from the perspective of a dancer. It also executes every key documentary element well, and I like that the dancers express themselves through their art and in their favorite places. I also like that the people in the film motivated people to continue their art even when they’re in bad situations like this. This film also has some great B roll shots, and I would recommend this film to anyone who likes documentaries about war, as well as people who are artists. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/13/25 Full Review Marcos L I would recommend this documentary, because it deals with a very interesting topic, it's a very sad one, as it is the war, but I think it has a very important message, and a very important aim, of spreading, to make visible and to denounce the social and human consequences of the war. It uses great all the documentary techniques, but focusing on the interviews, besides normal interviews, this documentary has a very special way to transmit what they want to tell us, and it's through dancing, through what the women transmit to us their feeling, sensations, problems, etc. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 09/12/25 Full Review Jamie C This movie was a interesting watch, I thought the broll was pretty good and the war sirens brought a intense atmosphere -Jamie chopon Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 09/12/25 Full Review Hawk M I enjoyed the film and the mission which it conveyed. The women were inspiring with their dances, motivating people to create and express. Some of the moments in the film felt slow or confusing of the purpose, and the dances them selves were not my cup of tea, but overall I would recommend the film to artists of all sorts.
