Leave your thoughts about Five Dances.
| VarietyRonnie ScheibThe sensual movement of bodies through space creates a visual language whose infinite variations seduce and fascinate over the course of the film’s numerous rehearsals. |
| The DissolveAdam Nayman[An] occasionally awkward but finally light-footed movie. |
| Slant MagazineDiego SemereneIt's the moments when director Alan Brown stops worrying about clarifying plot and character motivation and lets the performances bring those into being that makes this an authentic project. |
| RogerEbert.comHank SartinIt's a lovely way to open a film that is at its best when it is displaying dancers in motion and exploring the complex dynamics of a rehearsal space. |
| NPRTrey GrahamA lovingly shot valentine to work and body and art, and a generous, ultimately happy little story of a lost boy finding a community and a kindred soul. |
| The Hollywood ReporterFrank ScheckThe gorgeous physicality is more impressive than the sketchy storyline of this dance-centric drama. |
| Under the RadarShawn HazelettAt times the plot seems to exist merely to string together all these dance scenes ... Unfortunately, Five Dances feels more interested in the art than the artist. |
| Village VoiceViolet LuccaIf only verisimilitude equaled quality. But unfortunately, schmaltzy music and drab melodrama drag down the otherwise graceful moves of Five Dances. |
| New York Daily NewsJoe NeumaierThough the film’s untested cast struggles with the drama, and the sketched-out story is often banal (there are several amateurish calls-to-mom scenes), the presentation of a specific city subculture is etched from the heart. |
| The New York TimesDavid DeWittA promising, though static, new film that never leaves its taciturn shadows for a single emotionally gripping moment. |
