Gotta Dance is a feel-better movie. Warm and cozy with just the tiniest dollop of tension.
By Kenneth Turan FULL REVIEW
70
The dancers are prone to feel-good sound bites, but Ms. Berinstein also takes the time to draw out their back stories, making for a sweet group portrait of ordinary folks who found a late splash of fame.
By Neil Genzlinger FULL REVIEW
70
This small journey of self-discovery, even at an advanced age, mirrors the larger one Berinstein so fondly addresses here and leaves you with that oh-so-rare but genuine warm and fuzzy feeling.

Would be just another disposable, albeit touching, distraction if its subtext didn't hint that growing old in this ageist society is a bitch.
FULL REVIEW
70
Heartwarming and full of self-deprecating humor, albeit somewhat over-long and repetitive.

A chipper documentary sure to please seniors.
