Movie Reviews

Chicago Sun-Times - 10/10 by Roger EbertWhat Fred and Ginger had together, and what no other team has ever had in the same way, was a joy of performance. They were so good, and they knew they were so good, that they danced in celebration of their gifts.
LarsenOnFilm - 10/10 by Josh LarsenIf Swing Time isn’t the pinnacle film in the Fred Astaire-Ginger Rogers partnership, it surely has their pinnacle production number: Never Gonna Dance, with music by Jerome Kern and lyrics by Dorothy Fields.
Los Angeles Times - 10/10 by Kenneth TuranTop Hat is tops with two of the duo’s most sublime numbers. The George Stevens-directed Swing Time, featuring glorious Jerome Kern-Dorothy Fields songs, is just as good.
Chicago Tribune - 10/10 by Michael WilmingtonWhile the movie’s amusing comedy bits are a little too slow for vintage screwball or farce, its love story has no such limitations. Astaire and Rogers sell their whole relationship through movement, on and off the dance floor.
Washington Post - 9/10 by Hal HinsonArlene Croce has called it a movie about the myth of Astaire and Rogers and the world they lived in, and that's about as good a description as any.
Slant Magazine - 9/10 by Chuck BowenSwing Time has some of Astaire and Rogers’s mightiest set pieces, which are intertwined to reflect their characters’ evolving relationship.
The A.V. Club - 8/10 by Nathan RabinIt's not quite as charming as Top Hat or Shall We Dance, and the plotting drags heavily in spots, but whenever it gets free from the demands of farce, it's a dizzy delight.
Philadelphia Inquirer - 8/10 by Desmond RyanThe plot is never permitted to weigh upon the shoulders of the cast; of comedy there is a generous portion; of romance the lightest sprinkling; of dancing, in solo, duet and ensemble, a brisk and debonair allotment.
