    It's the speed and intensity that makes the dance style remarkable.

    Word-of-mouth should make it one of the best-performing nonfiction films of the year.

    For all its flaws, it's thrilling viewing whenever LaChapelle opts to show rather than tell.

    I love "Rize"! There is no real plot to the movie based on the fact that it is a documentary. if you dont care about how it changed the inner city and streets of L.A. or just dont believe how it is related to the culture then you don't know anything about the streets. To see how things were changed by dancing instead of guns is remarkable. Even if you dont care about that, the dancing is amazing. I'll admit the east coast is completely different when they dance, but it's always cool to see different types of dances. If you dont like this movie, you either dont like dancing, don't know anything or know how to dance, and/or don't like to learn about other cultures.… Expand
