Leave your thoughts about Sparrows Dance.
| The A.V. ClubJesse HassengerThere are times when the slight, small Sparrows Dance pushes too hard, both visually and narratively: a blinking red light outside Ireland’s window provides overly fussy on-off lighting during two long scenes, and the movie’s flairs of serious conflict are less deft than its offhand moments of connection. There are enough of said moments, though, to sustain its sweetly hesitant romance. |
| Moveable FestStephen SaitoThe real beauty of "Sparrows Dance" is seeing all the artifice of its movie trappings fall away, a construction that Buschel asks the audience to confront directly in a slow dance scene |
| CultureCatchBrandon JudellMasterful in its silences,writer/director Noah Buschel's Sparrows Dance begins almost as a tribute to Chantal Akerman's masterpiece, Jeanne Dielman, 23 Qual du Commerce, 1080 Bruxelles, the difference mainly being a dissimilar choice of heroines. |
| Slant MagazineJake MulliganWriter-director Noah Buschel interestingly mirrors the monotony of his main character's routine in his claustrophobic aesthetic. |
| New York PostFarran Smith NehmeGiven that the opening shot shows the heroine on the toilet, what a nice surprise to find that this is a pure love story, told with elegance and simplicity on a low budget. |
| The New York TimesJeannette CatsoulisMr. Buschel, armed with an ear for diverting dialogue and actors who know how to sell it, somehow makes it all work. |
| The DissolveNick SchagerThe film thrives thanks to its superb lead performances, with Sparks exuding an endearingly off-kilter earnestness that nicely contrasts with Ireland’s internalized phobic fears and self-doubt. |
| Hollywood ReporterFrank ScheckMarin Ireland and Paul Sparks deliver terrific performances in this charmingly quirky love story. |
| VarietyRonnie ScheibSparks' oddball, self-deprecatory charm and Ireland's uncertainties play off each other nicely as their eclectic tastes mesh; both characters are thrilled at finding someone who accepts and even welcomes the other's peculiarities. |
| The Film StageJared MobarakSparrows Dance unfolds like a play with its emotion projected through cadence, carefully written words, and an excitingly raw series of expressive body language. |
