Full Plot Details

Of all the great ballerinas, Tanaquil Le Clercq may have been the most transcendent. With a body unlike any before hers, she mesmerized viewers and choreographers alike - her elongated, race-horse physique became the new prototype for the great George Balanchine. Her unique style, humor and authenticity redefined ballet for all dancers who followed. Amazingly, she was the muse to not one great artist but two; both George Balanchine and Jerome Robbins loved her as a dancer and a woman. Balanchine married her and Robbins created his famous version of Afternoon of a Faun for Tanny. Tanaquil Le Clercq was the foremost dancer of her day until it suddenly all stopped. On a tour of Europe, she was struck down by polio and paralyzed. She never danced again.

Movie Reviews

San Francisco Chronicle - 10/10 by Leba HertzDirector Nancy Buirski not only is able to give rare insights into the dance world but a compelling tale of love, friendship and perseverance.
SF Weekly - 10/10 by Jonathan KieferBuirski easily affirms that the dancer's angular sensuality was but one aspect of her enduring creative power.
Chicago Reader - 9/10 by Ben SachsThis 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.
ReviewExpress.com - 9/10 by Jean LowerisonReminds us what the ballet world had for a time.
Shockya.com - 9/10 by Brent SimonA 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.
Chicago Sun-Times - 9/10 by Hedy Weiss[A] strangely haunting, often heartbreaking new documentary.
RogerEbert.com - 9/10 by Godfrey CheshireWhile it does profile the work of brilliant dancer, the film also contains two complex and moving love stories as well an account of a physically devastating tragedy followed by an extraordinary tale of struggle and survival.
Philadelphia Inquirer - 8/10 by Ellen DunkelBuirski takes us on an emotional journey, although the start may seem slow to people unfamiliar with the ballet world or Le Clercq's story.
Village Voice - 8/10 by Stephanie ZacharekBuirski clearly shows that the spark that made her great couldn't be snuffed out so easily.
New York Daily News - 8/10 by Elizabeth WeitzmanClassical dance great Jacques d’Amboise calls Tanaquil LeClercq’s style a “path to heaven.” And this lovely documentary by Nancy Buirski makes clear that he’s right.
