Vita & Virginia (2018) 41% 2/4 EDIT “Maybe dramatizing their correspondence would have worked if it had been paired with convincing dialogue.” – Globe and Mail Nov 20, 2019 Full Review The White Crow (2018) 68% 2.5/4 EDIT “The film may go to lengths to tell us that Nureyev was sensational to watch, but we don't experience much of this power or magnetism as viewers.” – Globe and Mail May 9, 2019 Full Review Nureyev: Lifting the Curtain (2018) 85% 3/4 EDIT “The new documentary is satisfying in some regards and frustrating in others.” – Globe and Mail Apr 18, 2019 Full Review The Nutcracker and the Four Realms (2018) 32% EDIT “There's potential here for a distinctly female examination of leadership, power and war. If only it were further explored.” – Globe and Mail Nov 2, 2018 Full Review Mr. Gaga (2015) 87% 3/4 EDIT “The portrait of the artist might be a bit uncritically rosy; still, this is a compelling dance film that captures the drive and passion of a key figure in contemporary choreography.” – Globe and Mail Mar 17, 2017 Full Review Dancer (2016) 88% 2.5/4 EDIT “While there's plenty of footage of Polunin executing multiple pirouettes and twisting acrobatically through the air, real ballet fans will lament the lack of evidence of emotion and artistry in his dancing.” – Globe and Mail Feb 10, 2017 Full Review Reset (2015) 71% 2.5/4 EDIT “Midway through the film, this level of unstructured naturalism crosses a threshold from boring to subtly compelling.” – Globe and Mail Dec 30, 2016 Full Review A Ballerina's Tale (2015) 78% 2/4 EDIT “As an examination of how idealized conceptions of the ballerina have fed racial homogeneity in the industry, A Ballerina's Tale sticks with stuff we already know.” – Globe and Mail Jan 15, 2016 Full Review Ballet 422 (2014) 91% 3/4 EDIT “What makes Jody Lee Lipes documentary so interesting - even transfixing at times - is the fact that nothing is editorialized or explained. There are no interviews or voice-overs.” – Globe and Mail Feb 27, 2015 Full Review
