Modern dance devotees and fans of legendary choreographer Merce Cunningham will find much to appreciate in the lovingly crafted documentary "If the Dancer Dances."
May 3, 2019 | Full Review… -
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.

April 25, 2019 | Full Review… -
It's less of an insightful backstage documentary than a gushing, sycophantic love letter to the late Merce Cunningham.
April 20, 2019 | Rating: 2/4 | Full Review… -
If the Dancer Dances is reminiscent of witnessing a philologist or literary translator at play, trying to get into the mindset of someone who works in a different language.
