The story of Detective Agustin Rejas, a man clinging to the hope of an impossible love in an impossible world. Tracking Ezequiel, a delusional anarchist who incites the downtrodden masses to join in his brutal revolution against the fascist government in their unnamed Latin American country, Rejas finds solace in his sense of self-respect and the joy that his daughter and wife bring him. Then he meets Yolanda--his daughter's soulfully beautiful ballet teacher--a woman who sparks his long-forgotten passions and represents all that is good and all that is corrupt in their troubled country. But she, who appears to be a shelter from the storm, may in actuality be the storm's eye. Ultimately, as the revolution intensifies and the net closes around hunter and hunted alike, the dancer's truth will prove as elusive as the revolutionary's cause and the detective's peace.
Leave your thoughts about The Dancer Upstairs.
| Dallas Morning NewsChris VognarAtmospheric but dramatically murky, a mood in search of a story. |
| St. Paul Pioneer PressChris HewittYou may find yourself wishing Dancer had more energy, but then Bardem's performance and the oddball jokes get their hooks into you. |
| UK CriticIan Waldron-MantganiStretches are terrific, but the slow pacing becomes methodical, and the final stretches, which should be lingering and reflecting on emotional threads, simply end up ponderous. |
| Hollywood.comLeigh JohnsonThe Dancer Upstairs finds just the right balance between private drama and the political world--and may open some eyes to the value of independent thought. |

| CompuserveHarvey S. KartenThough character-driven, there is heart-pounding tension in this spy story, John Malkovich's directorial debut. |
| Killer Movie ReviewsAndrea Chase[A] stunning exploration of passion and delusion. |
| Sacramento BeeJoe BaltakeWhile The Dancer Upstairs may have nothing else to remind us of [Malkovich], it does have a certain mystique itself. |
| Denver Rocky Mountain NewsRobert DenersteinBardem's performance lingers in ways that give the movie resonance. |
