Top Critics' Reviews
Rotten: This programmatic entry in the tykes-and-trophies genre has too much on its plate and not nearly enough on its mind.
Fresh: Uncovers the sweat and toil behind all the sparkly outfits and clickety-clack footwork.
Rotten: There are too many personal stories and themes (rivalry, triumph over adversity, the nobility of sportsmanlike determination...) slugging it out here.
Fresh: This highly involving film deftly captures the unique physical, emotional and financial aspects of diving into competitive Irish dance, with the participants' addictive immersion the overwhelming takeaway.
