Comwayon A Disappointing Continuation

Dynamixor The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.

Billie Morin This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows

Isbel A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

swifttwain It opens with light and shadow...then develops into personal portraits which deepen as we go back and forth between our 3 protagonists, each scene complementing the next. We re-discover the forgotten tale of the blind Prima ballerina of Cuba, a woman who returned to Cuba at the request of Fidel Castro to launch a school which has produced world-class dancers who perform around the world. What is impressed me most was the editing, using archives and recent footage to tell the tale. The cameraman, Gregory Bindscheller, captures the intensity of these dancers, the rigour of the school, and their professors. The director, Eileen Hofer, ably uses these elements to tell a tale of time, of prowess, and leave the viewer with more questions than answers - and the desire to learn more. For those who love dance, great camera work, and nuanced narrative, don't miss this film.
