Leave your thoughts about Dance Party, USA.
| The Tyee (British Columbia)Dorothy Woodend. . . first impressions can be misleading, and underneath the blatant misogyny and nasty talk lurks some genuine feeling. |
| TV GuideKen FoxDramatically simple but emotionally complex. |
| Film4Anton Bitelcaptures with apparent effortlessness the tongue-tied self-consciousness and dreamy disorientation that growing up entails. |
| Austin ChronicleDarcie StevensDelving beneath skin level and examining the mind of an 18-next-week boy, Dance Party is challenging, gritty, and true. |
| New York TimesJeannette CatsoulisDirected with extraordinary empathy by Aaron Katz (who also wrote the story), Dance Party, USA is an admittedly slight movie, but one that is given heft by a yearning tone and a camera fascinated by the emotional shifts and shadows on a young person's face. |
| Village VoiceJordan HarperWriter-director Aaron Katz has a gift for naturalistic dialogue--that alone allows his film to transcend the micro-budget indie gabfest genre. On the other hand, there's a fine line between naturalistic and dull, and Dance Party occasionally crosses it as its young actors talk about life, or don't talk about life. |

| User ReviewJosh CNice little indie film I didn't know what i was about to watch at first. The movie is very honest on itself, and has some good intense dialoge in some scenes. all in all not for everyone but unique for some ;) |
