Jamie Dunn Sight & Sound Bollaín, working from Paul Laverty's script, has a trump card up her sleeve in the modern day dance sequences choreographed by Acosta, which punctuates the prosaic rags-to-renown dancer story with dollops of physical poetry. Jan 13, 2020 Full Review Sandra Hall Sydney Morning Herald It has all the makings of a perfectly formed feel-good movie, but Spanish director Iciar Bollain and British screenwriter Paul Laverty have less conventional ideas in mind. Rated: 4/5 Oct 30, 2019 Full Review Charlotte O'Sullivan London Evening Standard The film-makers' hearts are in Havana and, yes, their enthusiasm is infectious. Rated: 3/5 Apr 15, 2019 Full Review Hagan Osborne FILMINK (Australia) ...a stunning embodiment of perseverance told through the art of cinema and dance. Rated: 18/20 Apr 1, 2021 Full Review Yasser Medina Cinefilia Although the intentions are understood with the beautiful dance choreography, it lacks a bit of verve on the matter. [Full review in Spanish] Rated: 6/10 Jul 27, 2020 Full Review Kevin Wight The Wee Review Yuli is an often irresistible take on the life of an artist where the subject is as interesting as the work for which they are celebrated.

isla s This is a pretty fast paced action/Western film with some decent performances, most notably that of Lou Diamond Philips. I enjoyed the confrontations and the plot in general. Its perhaps not entirely memorable but its certainly entertaining while its on screen. The characters are fairly likeable. Its fairly violent but not overly gratuitously so. If your a fan of the main cast, then I'd recommend it, yes. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member Beautiful movements, well told. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/13/23 Full Review Audience Member I really enjoyed it. Great story, Liked filming. Great dance sequences. Story telling sometimes felt a bit disjointed. Always enjoy non-American movies - have different feel. Glimpse into life in a different place. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/05/23 Full Review Audience Member Esta es una película obligada para todos los que aman la danza y la vida. Icíar Bollaín, su pareja Paul Laverty, y el danzar del otro mundo, Carlos Acosta, han creado una obra maestra. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/16/23 Full Review Audience Member Muy bonita pelicula, una historia conmovedora. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/15/23 Full Review Audience Member Real, passionate, energising Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/01/23 Full Review Read all reviews
