Although repetitive at times and, like so many show business documentaries, displaying a tendency toward self-congratulation, the film will prove fascinating for dance buffs. Apr 25, 2019 | Full Review…

Director Maia Wechsler and her editor Mary Manhardt stayed on point with a difficult editing job to make this film hang together. It is almost too repititious...If you're not into dance particularly modern dance, this might not be for you. May 9, 2019 | Full Review…

If the Dancer Dances is obviously a must-see for any dancer, but even more than that, it's a good viewing experience for artists of any discipline. Apr 26, 2019 | Rating: 8/10 | Full Review…

A rare privilege - to have this level of access to the creation of new work which is attempting to honor the legacy of such a legendary choreographer. An important document of an artistic process. Apr 25, 2019 | Rating: 3.5/5 | Full Review…
