Critic Reviews of "Dance Academy: The Movie"
ABC Radio BrisbaneMay 31, 2017There's a realness to these characters and their journey that makes this worth a look.
The AustralianApril 14, 2017I liked the Emma Stone-Ryan Gosling song and dance romance-drama, but for me Dance Academy feels more real. It has something about it that is more dramatic, more emotional, more complex.
The Age (Australia)April 12, 2017Strauss is a writer of real flair. A former teen dancer, she knows the milieu like the back of her hand and is not ashamed to take delight in an all-Aussie phrase like "pity pash".
Sydney Morning HeraldApril 12, 2017The dialogue isn't exactly sparkling. It's matter-of-fact at best, cliched at worst, but Tara and friends are easy to like. The ballet movie tradition is well served.
ArtsHubApril 10, 2017What it lacks in surprises, it makes up for in poise, a standard coat of glossy-imaged polish, and an affable teen melodrama air.
3AWApril 07, 2017Fans of the show will feel dutifully well-served. Those coming to the film cold might feel a little iced out.
Screen-SpaceApril 06, 2017While maintaining the heart that helped make it a small-screen hit, Dance Academy looks every bit the sumptuous big-screen drama.
JunkeeApril 06, 2017If you want to be a snob about dance-based drama for teens, that's your choice, but you're about to miss out on something pretty great.
Herald Sun (Australia)April 05, 2017The old-fashion story path navigated here (much of which takes place in the US) is a lot more downbeat and realistic about the plight of young performers than many viewers will expect. The movie as a whole is all the better for it.
Daily Telegraph (Australia)April 05, 2017Walker exhibits admirable restraint in the face of such potentially overwrought romantic tropes, refusing to milk the emotional moments, encouraging his actors to underplay the key scenes. The characters' self-deprecating humour also serves the film well.
GuardianApril 05, 2017Subversive entertainment it ain't. But nor is this well-paced yarn - with pleasing albeit narrowly scoped performances from a perky cast - bereft of pleasantries and surprises.
Graffiti With PunctuationMarch 27, 2017In the final stanza of "Dance Academy" it finally becomes the movie that you're hoping it will be; it's a crowd pleaser that has surprises up its sleeve.
