Leave your thoughts about Joffrey: Mavericks of American Dance.
| Village VoiceMichelle OrangeA deeply archived and circumspect history of the Joffrey dance company, Joffrey: Mavericks of American Dance does a perfect white swan but has trouble developing much of a personality. |
| Globe and MailRick GroenAlways informative yet never remotely original. The story gets told, we learn something, class dismissed. |
| The GridAdam NaymanFor all the juicy backstage stories and remarkable archival footage of early performances, the film still feels blandly affirmative. |
| Easy Reader (California)Neely SwansonThe pace never lags leaving the viewer wanting more, never less than what has been presented. |
| Slant MagazineJesse CataldoWhile the documentary offers us a story that needs to be told, it does so in very non-Joffrey ways. |
| The New York TimesDavid DeWittAlas, dance films like Wim Wenders's innovative, kinetic "Pina" have now set a high barre, and by comparison the traditional talking-head style of this documentary seems primed for showings on public television. |
| Los Angeles TimesLewis SegalThere's a lot of valuable information here, but for all the archival footage on view, dance is rarely allowed to make its effect. |
| Slant MagazineDiego SemereneWhile the doc offers us a story that needs to be told, it does so in very non-Joffrey ways. |
| Seattle TimesMoira MacDonald"Joffrey: Mavericks of American Dance" is an exhilarating piece of dance history... |
| User ReviewAnnette MExcellent movie chronicling the 50+ years history of the Joffrey Ballet Company. I enjoyed the perspective. I also enjoyed the look inside the ballet world |
