      Rachel Saltz New York Times Nureyev's sure sense of drama in telling his story isn't matched by the Morrises. Jun 6, 2019 Full Review Frank Scheck Hollywood Reporter Instantly essential. Apr 19, 2019 Full Review Owen Gleiberman Variety To plunge into this saga, especially if you don't know it, and to see what it was that made Rudolf Nureyev onstage such a furious and transporting poet-of-the-body, is to be at once moved and awed. Apr 19, 2019 Full Review Wade Major FilmWeek (KPCC - NPR Los Angeles) It is stylistically beautiful... This really gets to the heart of [Nureyev]. Sep 27, 2019 Full Review Michael J. Casey Boulder Weekly You live as long as you dance. May 30, 2019 Full Review Sherilyn Connelly SF Weekly Not unlike the man himself, Nureyev is overflowing with style... But what matters is the story, and Nureyev tells a good one. May 23, 2019 Full Review Read all reviews

      Miles C Very powerful, informative, and introspective of his life. I would have liked to have seen more of his dancing and less of the modern-day interpretations. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 08/03/19 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating
