It is the mythic resonance of her story that makes it a worthy subject a documentary. But it is the down-to-earth human touches that make "Afternoon of a Faun: Tanaquil Le Clercq" worth watching. May 29, 2014 | Rating: 3.5/5 | Full Review…

"Afternoon of a Faun: Tanaquil Le Clercq" presents enough teasing glimpses into the dancer's personal and inner life to demand a fuller picture. May 15, 2014 | Rating: 3/4 | Full Review…

This 2013 profile of famed ballerina Tanaquil Le Clercq divides its running time between biographical information and synopses of creative achievements, but it doesn't aspire to anything more than the sum of its parts. May 8, 2014 | Full Review…

LeClerq, who lived her later years with a fierce independence, died in 2001; in this thoughtful, quiet film, she lives on. Apr 24, 2014 | Rating: 3.5/4

Afternoon of a Faun is primarily the story of a woman loved, desired, objectified and watched by men. Apr 18, 2014 | Rating: 2/4 | Full Review…

It interviews friends and confidants, provides glimpses of what she was like as a person and, best of all, shows us clips of her dancing, which tell us so much of what we need to know. Apr 10, 2014 | Full Review…

The film would be valuable for collecting this footage... even if its lapses as documentary cinema and storytelling device were far more serious than they are. Nov 27, 2014 | Rating: 6/10 | Full Review…

A beautiful tribute to a rare artist with an even rarer spirit. Jun 5, 2014 | Rating: 4/5 | Full Review…

As tragedy of the woman whose whole life was the hothouse of the dance -- including narrating her wistful, matter-of-fact letters and journals during treatment -- the doc exploring the myth of Le Clercq will be a balletomane's delight. Apr 18, 2014 | Rating: 3/4

A hopelessly insular work [that] affirms the talent of its subject, but frustratingly fails to establish a cleanly delineated backdrop or emotional throughline for a general audience. Apr 16, 2014 | Rating: C- | Full Review…
