alan g Just another excuse for interracial soft core porn. Waste of Julia Styles. Rated 0.5/5 Stars •  Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 10/01/24 Full Review Audience Member Thinking it would be like Step Up but turned out to be more of a drama Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 08/19/24 Full Review SkyRo P I find it puzzling that this movie received negative reviews from critics and failed to resonate with the general public because, in my opinion, it is a classic film that grows on you over time. Personally, I found this film thoroughly enjoyable and would rate it 100%. While some may perceive it as slow-paced at times, I believe that the pacing effectively builds tension and delivers a gratifying experience from start to finish. I highly recommend giving this film a chance. Julia Stiles delivers an outstanding performance, showcasing her talent as an actress. It's unfortunate that her presence in the limelight has diminished, as she excels in this particular role. While some may not find the storyline as compelling as I did, I believe it is worth giving it a shot and forming your own opinion. Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 08/12/24 Full Review Dorie K I saw this movie when it first came out, and recently read an article interviewing Julia Stiles about the role. She said she had some dance background before being cast, and spent weeks or months in dance training to prepare for the role. I enjoyed the movie and appreciated the effort she put in, but watching the clip of her character's Julliard audition I thought some of her movements were mechanical. People hoping to attend Julliard have a talent for dance or a musical instrument, and have dedicated themselves for years to studying and honing their craft. An actor cannot replicate the exceptional skill needed for admission to Julliard unless perhaps they have that taker themselves. For trained dancers the movements flow naturally, but Styles' audition sequence looked mechanical. She did as well as she could as an actress who had trained for weeks or months but of course she was not going to look convincing there. It's not her fault - the directors should have cast an actual dancer for the scene. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 12/16/23 Full Review Isaac L Unsurprisingly for a 2001 film, the plot is shallow and formulaic. Worse still it relies on tired and laughable tropes intended to be sold as social consciousness. Very out of touch writers clearly pandering to a certain demographic's fetish for unrealistic and stereotypical fantasies Rated 0.5/5 Stars •  Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 12/14/23 Full Review Jonathans M This movie has such a mature story, especially with the hardships they had to go through, cool music, and awesome dancing scenes, and there are also some emotional moments. And I find this to be an underrated gem that should get more attention. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 11/17/23 Full Review Read all reviews
