Documentary on the great American Ballerina Wendy Whelan
Leave your thoughts about Restless Creature: Wendy Whelan.
| The New York TimesBrian SeibertThe film is both a comeback story and, more profoundly, a coming to terms with aging. |
| San Francisco ChronicleClaudia BauerAs Whelan slowly comes to terms with the loss of her identity, she begins to forge a new one as a contemporary dancer, going on to produce her own performances on a national tour titled “Restless Creature.” |
| The Seattle TimesMoira MacdonaldRestless Creature isn’t a mere celebration of a great artist; it’s a moving portrait of what happens when that artist confronts the possibility of not being able to make that art any more. |
| culturevulture.netMichael Wade SimpsonIt is a powerful and moving documentary about one artist choosing to rise above the seemingly insurmountable obstacles placed upon her by age, injury, and ballet itself. |
| Village VoiceSerena DonadoniWhile acknowledging some missteps (such as jumping into a strenuous project too soon after surgery), Saffire and Schlesinger exhibit Whelan’s grace in dance and in life. |
| Chicago Sun-TimesHedy WeissAn intimate, often heartbreaking chronicle. |
| NOW TorontoKathleen SmithThe way the ineffable Whelan still moves onstage is not entirely human -- but the courage and spirit she brings to a difficult transition is completely relatable. |
| Paste MagazineKenji FujishimaIt’s sobering enough to witness a dedicated artist facing the possibility of losing his/her ability to create. And yet, Restless Creature is anything but relentlessly downbeat, primarily because Whelan refuses to be cowed by the pressure. |
| Los Angeles TimesSheri LindenThe film captures the intense emotion of the October 2014 performance that capped Whelan’s 30-year career. But more crucial is the way it shows her creating new challenges for herself, turning the terrifying prospect of irrelevance into a shot at reinvention. |
| Spirituality and PracticeFrederic and Mary Ann BrussatA magical documentary about a prima ballerina in New York City and the challenges she faces at age 46. |
