Critic Reviews
-
Lisa Kennedy, Denver Post
One doesn't have to be a dance aficionado to be drawn to this film, but if you are, Lavallade's observations about the difficult work of dance -- and choreography -- are as poetic as they are illuminating.
-
Andrew O'Hehir, Salon.com
Laugh if you want to, but this movie is a joyful celebration of the possibilities of love, the possibilities of blackness, the possibilities of America, and the possibilities of the human spirit. It's a tremendous tonic for dark times.
-
Ronnie Scheib, Variety
Proves too slight to encompass the innovative artistry of its celebrated subjects...could still wow cognoscenti and philistines alike.
-
Lou Lumenick, New York Post
Both subjects are interviewed at length, and the filmmakers have unearthed some rare, arresting black-and-white dance footage from the '50s and '60s.
-
Stephen Holden, New York Times
Leaves you wondering why its subjects are not widely recognized as national treasures.
