Polina: reviews
Reviews
What the critics say average 6.8 from 3 outlets
- 7.5 Roger EbertSheila O'Malley
The most important thing 'Polina' does?and it is testament, again, to the involvement of Preljocaj, a man who has devoted his life to dance?is that it shows that the everyday life of an artist is not made up of catharsis and accomplishment, triumphs and breakthroughs. Those moments only come after years of hard work, of failing and trying again.

If this film?s directors, Valérie Müller and the French choreographer Angelin Preljocaj, don?t offer much overt material on Polina?s inner life, it?s because they don?t have to: the point of Polina, and this movie, is that her dancing is her being.

'Polina' is vivid as dance but vague as drama.
