Matthew Lickona San Diego Reader 04/21/2017
2/5
Credit goes to Heymann for both his presentation of Naharin's work (which might have been tedious and/or inaccessible for the uninitiated) and character (which might have been obscured by the maestro's presence and/or the figures he commands).

Naharin's style is both idiosyncratic and accessible, his movements both angular and supple, but above all his dances celebrate the body, built for the joy of motion. Go to Full Review Kerry Lengel Arizona Republic 03/30/2017
4/5
Naharin's dances, amply illustrated from decades' worth of film, are visceral, emotional and sometimes shocking. Go to Full Review Steven Prokopy Third Coast Review 05/05/2020
Sometimes the smartest person in the room knows what they're talking about, and while you may grow frustrated with Naharin's methods, both his results and the film about him are tremendous. Go to Full Review Rachel Brook One Room With A View 04/18/2019
3/5
Heymann may have omitted too much due to overestimating the public's knowledge of Naharin's career, yet Mr Gaga is always interesting, and at times deeply moving. Go to Full Review Rachel Gabrielle The Stranger (Seattle, WA) 08/24/2017
Although the film doesn't truly define Naharin's Gaga style of dance, it's still a fascinating look inside the life and mind of the reigning godfather of modern dance Go to Full Review Read all reviews

07/27/2022 The greatest 01 hour: and 40 minutes of real footage!!!!!!!!!!!!! See more 06/17/2017 This movie is visually brilliant with quite a good story. The audience was enraptured. The visual effects of the dancers held us spellbound. The movie shows the love Ohad Naharin has for dance, his motivation, and the courage it took to stay with his vision. The dance sequences with his wife are breathtaking. Mr. Naharin has influenced artistic dance in ways no one has or will for hundreds of years. Another example of the genius that arises out of the sufferings of Israel to effect the world. Ohad is rightfully a legend in the world of theater and dance, and this film captures his genius for all of us to share.
