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. Go to Full Review Sandra Hall Sydney Morning Herald 10/30/2019
4/5
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. Go to Full Review Charlotte O'Sullivan London Evening Standard 04/15/2019

The film-makers' hearts are in Havana and, yes, their enthusiasm is infectious. Go to Full Review Hagan Osborne FILMINK (Australia) 04/01/2021

Although the intentions are understood with the beautiful dance choreography, it lacks a bit of verve on the matter. [Full review in Spanish] Go to Full Review Kevin Wight The Wee Review 10/11/2019

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. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Lanfranco C @Lanfrancobz Aug 1 A Boy split between love for Family and Country and dance duties! See more isla s 09/03/2022 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. See more 01/26/2022 Beautiful movements, well told. See more 05/22/2021 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. See more 11/16/2019 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. See more 11/13/2019 Muy bonita pelicula, una historia conmovedora.
