Leave your thoughts about Strictly Ballroom.
| Washington PostDesson ThomsonGrabbing every backstage musical cliche by the lapels, it sends each one pirouetting, then sprawling hysterically across the floor. It's hard not to love this kind of tribute. |
| ReelViewsJames BerardinelliThe movie is funny, energetic, and enjoyable -- the perfect film for a night or an afternoon out, regardless of what mood you're in. While the plot and characters don't boast any special depth, there's enough freshness to hold just about anyone's interest. |
| The Globe and Mail (Toronto)Rick GroenIt's silly, it's serious, it's outrageous, it's mundane, it's blowsy, it's lovely. Yet this fickle film has a constant heart - warm and very likeable. |
| CitysearchDan FazioLots of laughs, lots of style: Strictly Ballroom is a wonderful prelude to Luhrmann's next two films. |
| Decent Films GuideSteven D. GreydanusThough made for a fraction of [Moulin Rouge]'s budget and with no big stars,Strictly Ballroom is the better film in every way. |
| Rolling StonePeter TraversLuhrmann is a director with the style and snap to have these tired routines on their feet and kicking like a line of Rockettes. |
| Washington PostRita KempleyIt practically celebrates convenience of plot, over-the-top acting and follow-the-footprints dialogue, but mostly it is a salute to sequins and sashay. With just a hint of sarcasm. |
| The A.V. ClubNoel MurrayLuhrmann works aggressively for laughs early in the picture, playing up the gaudiness and piggishness of the old-guard dancers in camera angles as extreme and unflattering as a mid-'80s David Lee Roth video. |
| Chicago Sun-TimesRoger EbertWhat's best about the movie is the sense of madness and mania running just beneath its surface. |
| Los Angeles TimesKenneth TuranWithin the confines of this tried-and-true formula, Luhrmann has concocted a feel-good entertainment, which is lively, original (in an old-fashioned sort of way) and charming. |
