Audience Member Wildly bizarre, smart, sexy, artsy film noir. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 10/18/22 Full Review Audience Member Well it's different that for sure. A psychological drama set within a small dance troupe it has the advantage of some top grade talent, Judith Anderson and Michael Chekhov for starters, for such a low budget enterprise. Some fine dancing. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/27/23 Full Review Audience Member Truly bizarre and thoroughly enjoyable. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/27/23 Full Review Read all reviews
