Leave your thoughts about The Dance of Reality.
| NewcityRay PrideThe 85-year-old Chilean director's brisk recreation of his childhood in the coastal town of Tocopilla bursts with eminently buoyant and decidedly earthy passages. |
| RogerEbert.comPeter SobczynskiThe result will no doubt polarize viewers, as has been the case with his other major works, but it will certainly go down amongst those who see it as one of the most unforgettable films of this or any other year in recent memory. |
| Boston GlobePeter KeoughCompared to his previous films, The Dance of Reality offers a nearly coherent narrative and a gentle, reconciliatory tone. |
| Boston HeraldJames VerniereEl Topo is back. A surprisingly poignant, AMARCORD-like memoir. |
| ColeSmithey.comCole Smithey[VIDEO ESSAY]..."The Dance of Reality" is a loving film that dares to reconstitute atrocious familial, social, and political trespasses as violations to be forgiven in the interest of altering reality. |
| MLive.comJohn SerbaBizarre and graphic, unforgettable and unpredictable. |
| AV ClubIgnatiy VishnevetskyAs a close look at Jodorowsky’s work reveals, the line between “cult artist” and “cult leader” can be blurry. The line only gets blurrier with The Dance Of Reality, Jodorowsky’s first movie in 23 years, and the best thing he’s done, film-wise, since "The Holy Mountain." |
| Orange County RegisterMichael SragowSay this about the godfather of midnight movies, Alejandro Jodorowsky: He loves a parade and he puts on a doozy |
| Chicago TribuneMichael PhillipsA lot of the film doesn't quite click, either as dream imagery or something more conventional. But there's a spirit and a yearning in it that's undeniable and bracing. |
| East Bay ExpressKelly VanceWe never quite know where a Jodorowsky film is going to take us. That's a bonus in the present age of bland predictability. |
