She Dances Ratings & Reviews
AARP Movies for Grownups
Thelma Adams
Eschewing wrapping anything in a tidy bow, the film is a rewarding look at the actual, often complex dance between fathers and daughters.
RogerEbert.com
Marya E. Gates
It's an intricate web of relationships, and the film's script is at its sharpest when it traces the reverberations of death and their many aftershocks.
Movies Thru the Spectrum
Al Alexander
Real-life dance moms and gals may get a leg kick out of it, but all others might want to sit this one out.
Keith & the Movies
Keith Garlington
"She Dances" hits its marks as a routinely funny comedy and a bittersweet family drama. It's a film that surprises on many levels, never more than when its deeper themes rise to the surface.
VisAbleBlackwoman (Medium)
Jeanine T. Abraham
She Dances exemplifies how art, as a process of expression, is not only beautiful but also a healing, connective force.
New York Times
Glenn Kenny
While the picture, directed by Rick Gomez, has an often jaunty tone, it's really at its best when it leans into the sadness that shadows the father-daughter relationship.
Culture Mix
Carla Hay
The comedy/drama She Dances is a well-acted and bittersweet story of a divorced dad trying to reconnect with his 17-year-old daughter, as he chaperones her and her best friend during a road trip for a dance competition.
Punch Drunk Critics
Travis Hopson
If She Dances was designed as a platform to launch Audrey Zahn's acting career, it's done the job well.
Mark Reviews Movies
Mark Dujsik
[I]ts emotional core is ... frank and truthful.
NYC Movie Guru
Avi Offer
A surprisingly understated, tender, funny and genuinely heartfelt father/daughter story.
The Weekend Warrior (Substack)
Edward Douglas
Another bad indie dramedy with tonal issues that make it hard to sit through, let alone care about any of the characters, even during their most emotional moments.
Blu-ray.com
Brian Orndorf
There's a lot of loveliness here, and many laughs, but when it comes time to secure ending of supreme sensitivity, Gomez delivers in a big way.
Cinemasters
Rua Fay
She Dances has an incredible amount of heart
Screen Rant
Gregory Nussen
She Dances seems almost scared of its own premise.
San Jose Mercury News
Randy Myers
She Dances straddles the line between sweet and sad and handles both sentiments well. Ethan Hawke, Sonequa Martin-Green and Rosemarie DeWitt co-star, but this is the Zahns' film.
Pop Culture Leftovers
Connor Petrey
She Dances is a gripping tale of grief and trauma told through the eyes of a father and daughter working through it all in one fateful weekend trip.
Next Best Picture
Alyssa Christian
Regardless of its predictable nature, "She Dances" is easy to like, thanks to its performances, impressive camera work, and smart script.
IndieWire
Christian Zilko
While the film suffers from some flat, uninspired writing, the ensemble cast brings enough quality character work to the table to ensure it stays watchable.
TheWrap
Elizabeth Weitzman
So though "She Dances" feels like an intimately personal film, it's also, in the end, a pretty powerful one.
Variety
Tomris Laffly
In the end, the only lasting memory of "She Dances" will be the one spelled out in its opening credits -introducing us to Audrey Zahn, before she inevitably pirouettes her way to greener cinematic pastures.
