Christian Zilko IndieWire While the film suffers from some flat, uninspired writing, the ensemble cast brings enough quality character work to the table to ensure it stays watchable. Rated: B- Jun 12, 2025 Full Review Elizabeth Weitzman TheWrap So though “She Dances” feels like an intimately personal film, it’s also, in the end, a pretty powerful one. Jun 10, 2025 Full Review Tomris Laffly Variety In the end, the only lasting memory of “She Dances” will be the one spelled out in its opening credits —introducing us to Audrey Zahn, before she inevitably pirouettes her way to greener cinematic pastures. Jun 10, 2025 Full Review Alyssa Christian Next Best Picture Regardless of its predictable nature, “She Dances” is easy to like, thanks to its performances, impressive camera work, and smart script. Rated: 8/10 Jun 13, 2025 Full Review Frank J. Avella The Contending One of the joys of She Dances is the amount of love we can feel between father and daughter. ...The movie is heartwarming without being overly manipulative or pandering. And it’s quite funny without being contrived. Rated: B Jun 11, 2025 Full Review Valerie Kalfrin AWFJ.org a tender gem, a father-daughter duet with subtly affecting performances from Steve Zahn and his daughter, Ashley Zahn, in her feature debut.
