Gorgeous cinematography captures dazzling choreography in an engaging portrait of a dancer's life, even if Polina can't quite twirl itself away from clichés.

A marvelous paean to everything that goes into making great art: hard work, complicated humanity, taking risks, and trusting one's own instincts. Anastasia Shevtsova is tremendous as a young woman with an indomitable spirit. Dec 20, 2018 | Rating: 4/5 | Full Review…
