2/4
Despite its title, there's actually very little dancing, or rhythmic flair, in You Don't Need Feet to Dance. Go to Full Review Frank Scheck The Hollywood Reporter 03/22/2013
This portrait of an indomitable figure overcoming his handicap proves deeply inspirational. Go to Full Review Nicolas Rapold New York Times 03/21/2013
2.5/5
In a film plunked somewhat unfortunately between the inspirational and the ordinary, the impressively patient Mr. Conde voices public-service-announcement sentiments about being able to do as much as anyone else. Go to Full Review Avi Offer NYC Movie Guru 03/28/2013
5.2/10
Underwhelming and undernourishing. Go to Full Review Mary Ann Brussat Spirituality & Practice 03/25/2013
3.5/5
An inspiring documentary about a disabled West African drummer whose music and dancing enable him to transcend his woes and rejoice in the gift of life. Go to Full Review Louis Proyect rec.arts.movies.reviews 03/22/2013
A great story about a great man and a reminder of why NYC remains one of the world's thriving metropolises. Hint: it makes it possible for someone like the film's subject to make a life for himself. Go to Full Review Read all reviews
