This film does other power-of-dance movies one better by downplaying the dancing and underscoring what its brethren often lack: a compelling, wrenching and wonderfully inspiring story. Full Review

The story is corny and predictable, but Carlyle's subtle, nuanced performance saves the movie from drowning in sentimentality. Full Review

The Hollywood Reporter
The film is an elegiac journey to a sweeter, more civilized place in the heart. Predictable and decidedly old-fashioned in its sensibility, the film is likely to win over audiences if not critics. Full Review
