The New York Times Stephen Holden
One of the thrills of the movie is watching the improvisatory trial-and-error process as the dancers explore psychological themes, contorting their graceful, amazingly limber bodies into visual representations of relationships and emotional states.
Read Full Review >Christian Science Monitor David Sterritt
While it's not a blistering look behind the scenes, Last Dance gives a fuller picture of the creative process than most others of its ilk.
Read Full Review >New York Daily News Elizabeth Weitzman
The real highlight is watching the dancers as they progress from their first, tentative improvisations to the final, complex performance.
Read Full Review >Philadelphia Inquirer Carrie Rickey
It's a rare window on an artistic collaboration.
Read Full Review >New York Post Clive Barnes
Bank's discursive but oddly riveting documentary, Last Dance, offers a glimpse of what was probably the most important, and conceivably the most bitterly contested, collaboration in Pilobolean history.
Read Full Review >TV Guide Maitland McDonagh
An illuminating glimpse into what goes on in the dance studio.
Read Full Review >Boston Globe Christine Temin
Rehearsals are frequently more fascinating than the results. Last Dance, whatever its flaws, fulfills one facet of its mission in making me want to find out whether, in this case, that's true.
Read Full Review >Village Voice Elizabeth Zimmer
Last Dance is riveting when it focuses on the challenges of crossing a generational divide --The movie loses steam toward the end.
Read Full Review >The Onion (A.V. Club) Noel Murray
Displays, in all its discomfort and occasional fruitfulness, the trouble inherent in aesthetics by committee.
