      Audience Member Dennis Schwartz / Ozus' World Movie Reviews: This is not a documentary. It's a biopic. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 01/19/23 Full Review Audience Member Biographically, the decision to exclude Bronislava Nijinskya baffles me. Cinematically, the dialogue is not very good and drags down the movie. However, I would like to see a restored version of the film and the dancing is (of course) well done. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/06/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating

      Bruce McCabe Boston Globe Unfortunately, the film's defects spoil a bravura performance by Alan Bates, perhaps the actor of the past decade. Apr 28, 2018 Full Review Aaron Cohen Gay Community News (Boston) Nijinsky has the virtues of an ambitious project that tried to do the impossible and came up with doing several improbable things with distinction if not much sense of elan. Aug 30, 2022 Full Review Steve Martz Washington Blade Nijinsky is one of those rare movies from which one emerges feeling fully quenched, satisfied that the film has plumbed the depths of its material and brought forth a vision of humanity that is worth pondering. May 20, 2022 Full Review El Pais Staff El Pais (Spain) The costumes and stage design of the Russian ballet have been dramatized with meticulous care and historical accuracy.
