Robert P @Superbad Sep 30, 2026 The Tango Lesson = a *4* star Movie! See more isla s @RT89656869 Sep 4, 2022 The dancing is quite hypnotic, with certainly pretty surroundings. It has a dreamlike quality with few others shown in the public settings - this is primarily about the 2 main characters interacting and expressing themselves to one another. The scenes in between the actual dances are a bit dull and less interesting. I enjoyed watching the film for the rhythm the choreographed scenes conveyed. The instrumental ballroom-esque music is quite enjoyable, in a toe tapping way and there's also some nice saxophone music. I guess the film is really all about how the relationship is formed, developed, deepens etc. between he who gives the lesson and the student, with frustrations and arguments clearly visible. Sometimes its a sad film, sometimes its almost uplifting - a quirky film, it won't suit, or appeal to, all but its certainly not bad. It's a little too 'arty' for my taste but it's not bad.

Great character study of a mild narcissist, his relationship hang-ups, and the role of faith in our lives. See more Oct 5, 2019 I have always loved this movie. Not only is it FULL of actual dancing (rather then just short vignettes to move the story along) it really explores the power dynamics in ballroom dance/tango See more Petros T @PetrosTserpelis Sep 29, 2017 The photography is really nice and the overall mood is warm and appealing. There's a few very well-made dancing scenes too; I did feel though that there were too many of them - and little story in comparison. Quiet romantic dramas may not require the most mind-blowing plot but good characters are still needed. When towards the end the two protagonists get to talk a bit more about themselves and each other it's a stark contrast to the schematic meta meditation on tango and film that came before.

The intersecting motivations behind their relationship compel them to work together, even as they question the purity of their love. Many beautiful depictions of dance. I found this film profoundly nourishing. See more Read all reviews
