Leave your thoughts about Ballets Russes.
| Chicago TribuneSid SmithMay not be the greatest dance documentary ever made, but it could well be the most accessible and touching. |
| Baltimore SunMichael SragowIt gives you such an intense hit of creativity that afterward you may find yourself trying to jete out of the theater and into the street. |
| Seattle Post-IntelligencerR. M. CampbellIt captures the heart and spirit of one of the 20th century's most fabled ballet companies, with a history that stretches continents and decades. |
| New York Daily NewsElizabeth WeitzmanGoldfine discover so many fascinating themes within their seemingly narrow subject that anyone with the slightest interest in history or human nature will find it absorbing. |
| Los Angeles TimesKenneth TuranA captivating film that truly elevates the spirit, Ballets Russes is the most emotionally satisfying documentary since "Mad Hot Ballroom." |
| L.A. WeeklyElla TaylorThe meat of the film is their wittily edited interviews with company members, now in their 80s and 90s and scattered around the world, many of them still active as teachers and consultants. |
| Salon.comAndrew O'HehirIt's a profoundly optimistic and delightful movie, for balletomanes and neophytes alike. It made me happy for days afterward. |

| San Francisco ChronicleSteven WinnIf this documentary never quite makes the case for the deeper artistic or cultural imprint of the Ballets Russes, it does convey its enduring presence in these dancers' lives. |
| TV Guide MagazineMaitland McDonaghYou don't have to know an arabesque from an alligator handbag to enjoy Daniel Geller and Dayna Goldfine's loving documentary about the various incarnations of the Ballet Russe. |
