Jeff Strickler Minneapolis Star Tribune If you can make it through this documentary without having your toes tap even once, then you are defying its very premise. Rated: 3/4 Mar 29, 2007 Full Review Chris Hewitt St. Paul Pioneer Press What's really impressive in Rhythm is the passion and commitment of young people figuring out how their bodies work.

Audience Member Wonderful documentary about the necessity of arts in education. Great story construction, conflicts and photography. It is a must for arts educators. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 01/16/23 Full Review Audience Member I often wondered how the documentary filmmakers chose the shown scenes because sometimes they were far from neutral (all those outdoor scenes where the public stares at the shown teenagers or smoking children to imply Marie comes from a bad neighbourhood) My favourite parts of this documentary were the musical rehearsals in the Berlin Philharmonic. Sir Simon Rattle was wonderful and to see which instrument plays which musical notes in Le Sacre du Printemps was mind-blowing! Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/21/23 Full Review Audience Member Magic:) Touching :) Inspiring :) Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/05/23 Full Review Audience Member very interesting, esp the collector's edition with all the additional material. recommended. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/30/23 Full Review Audience Member La postura que tomas al bailar es la postura que tomas frente a la vida Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/06/23 Full Review Audience Member You can feel a sense of meditation when Sir Simon Rattle is doing his talk, revealing the idea of the project. Music and dance are not things coming with confusion, but something for you to imagine. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/15/23 Full Review Read all reviews
