Young and restless dancers take to the streets.

Diego Semerene

Slant Magazine

Embraces the notion of dancers as characters with histories, more than just beautifully coordinated fleshly parts.

Rated: 3/4

Village Voice

The film's portrait of disaffected urban teens proves an evocative tribute to the vitality of youth.

Variety

A highly cinematic restaging of a jazzy 1958 Jerome Robbins "ballet in sneakers," Jody Lee Lipes and Henry Joost's NY Export: Opus Jazz thoroughly revitalizes the piece's once timely choreography.

The MacGuffin

It is gorgeously photographed, the colors seem to pop right out through the screen, and all of the dancers perform at the highest caliber.

Rated: B+

I had really only known of Jerome Robbins' work from West Side Story, after watching this I feel that I was able to get a better understanding of what it's like to express oneself through dance. The ballet paired with the music was truly inspiring to watch. It captured what it means to be young to speak your mind without having to open your mouth. This is something that I would recommend to anyone interested in dance.
