Filmmaker Bobbi Jo Hart reveals the history of Les Ballets Trockadero de Monte Carlo -- the all-male, drag ballet company founded over 40 years ago on the heels of New York's Stonewall riots.

John Doyle

Globe and Mail

It's a charming and shrewd take on the male ballerinas of the legendary Les Ballets Trockadero de Monte Carlo, part performance documentary and part portrait of the performers and the company.

Claudia Bauer

San Francisco Chronicle

This thoughtfully crafted, seamlessly edited film reveals the grit behind the glitter, and it makes the Trocks' humor as touching as it is pointed.

Rated: 4/4

The New Republic

It's in the attention to these dancers that Rebels on Pointe does some of its most moving work, exploring how people hold a space for one another, and how ballet-if we allow it, or make it-can hold a space for us.

Gay Essential

As a tribute to the current roster of dancers and an exploration of their extraordinary daily routines, Rebels on Pointe is very much, ahem, on point.
