Leave your thoughts about The Tango Lesson.
| Chicago Sun-TimesRoger EbertMost dances are for people who are falling in love. The tango is a dance for those who have survived it, and are still a little angry about having their hearts so mishandled. The Tango Lesson is a movie for people who understand that difference. |
| Entertainment WeeklyLisa SchwarzbaumThe Tango Lesson is about as far away from Al Pacino’s Scent of a Woman hotdogging as you can get; it really is about the scent of a woman, in all her fascinating peculiarity. |
| San Francisco ChronicleEdward GuthmannSurprisingly, Potter takes what seemed like a recipe for embarrassment and excess and delivers a film that's sweet and understated and devoid of diva posturing. |
| Film Journal InternationalPeter HenneEven though it's self-conscious of its own sentimentality, it's surprisingly infectious. |
| Spirituality and PracticeFrederic and Mary Ann BrussatContinues Sally Potter's exploration of the sexual politics involved in creative expression. |
| CineVuePatrick GambleDespite being exquisitely shot and flowing with an inescapably graceful stride that seems in accordance with the film's titular dance, The Tango Lesson works far better as a deconstruction of the creative process than it does as a satire on the industry. |
| The New York TimesJanet MaslinStiffly playing a filmmaker with a growing passion for the tango, she makes this a handsome, drily meticulous film with no real fire anywhere beyond its supple dance scenes. |
| Austin ChronicleMarjorie BaumgartenThe Tango Lesson is ponderously scripted and stiffly acted, and though the narrative causes the characters to skip continents and languages (the story bounces from Paris to Buenos Aires to London and back) little of the passion that drives this story is conveyed. |
| User ReviewYifan XCaptures the subtleties of the relationship in an amazing way. |
| User ReviewLenna PThis daring feminist film depicts the relationship between a female film director and her male muse, a tango dancer. The intersecting motivations behind their relationship compel them to work together, even as they question the purity of their love. Many beautiful depictions of dance. I found this film profoundly nourishing. |
