Movie Reviews

St. Paul Pioneer Press - 9/10 by Chris HewittReally, all of the dancers' evident passion for their art is, well, spellbinding.
Arkansas Democrat-Gazette - 9/10 by Philip MartinKargman ... brings a welcome empathy to this programmatic film that follows six hopefuls as they compete in something called the Youth America Grand Prix, which we're told is the most comprehensive ballet competition in the world.
Seattle Times - 9/10 by Moira MacDonaldWhen it's over, you won't remember so much about who won and who lost. Instead, what remains is the expression on a young dancer's face, reflected in a mirror: showing the joy of being in love with what you do.
St. Paul Pioneer Press - 9/10 by Chris Hewitt (St. Paul)Really, all of the dancers' evident passion for their art is, well, spellbinding.
Entertainment Weekly - 9/10 by Lisa SchwarzbaumEach of [the] six young subjects vying for the Youth America Grand Prix (and the priceless award of a full scholarship to a top ballet school) is a wonder of self-imposed discipline in service to art.
Herald Sun (Australia) - 8/10 by Leigh PaatschIt is edge-of-the-seat stuff by the close of the film, and not just because of the high stakes in play for all involved.
HeyUGuys - 8/10 by Jamie NeishFirst Position may be too slight, too sincere and too plain faced to truly invest in. But for those in need of something that bestows a voice both unto children with a clear focus and passion, it succeeds.
Globe and Mail - 8/10 by Jennie PunterIt does a great job developing its characters through its visuals - these are superphysical kids - and honing in on family dynamics.
Toronto Star - 8/10 by Linda BarnardIf you have a yearning to feel awkward, inadequate and lazy, watching the whirling teenage (and preteen) talents in director Bess Kargman's First Position will do the trick.
Ozus' World Movie Reviews - 8/10 by Dennis SchwartzIt's enjoyable watching the motivated youngsters pirouetting their way to success.
