Connie Ogle

Sensational documentary. Read full review

Michael Phillips

It's a big ice cream sundae, this one -- not great documentary filmmaking but tasty all the way. Read full review

Carrie Rickey

Do you need to have seen A Chorus Line to understand or enjoy Every Little Step? I think not. This companion piece to one of America's most beloved musicals is about human longings and shortfalls. Read full review

Peter Travers

A thrilling combination of documentary and musical dazzler. Read full review

J.R. Jones

Absolutely wonderful, with amazing backstage footage of both the original show and its creators, as well as the cast and directors of the revival. Highly recommended.
