Critic Reviews of "Desert Dancer"
Globe and MailApril 17, 2015There would seem to be only one thing that the act of dancing cannot free the characters in Desert Dancer from, and that's the movie they're in.
Chicago Sun-TimesApril 10, 2015In his feature film debut, director Richard Raymond keeps the story moving despite some dramatic cliches.
RogerEbert.comApril 10, 2015Its depiction of the internal tensions in Iranian politics and culture is not what you'd call super-nuanced, but it is sympathetic to Iran as an entity.
Los Angeles TimesApril 09, 2015Reece Ritchie brings heart to the lead role, particularly in the decisive solo performance that caps the film. But that sequence is as expressive and alive as the rest of the supposedly movement-loving drama is static.
New York TimesApril 09, 2015"Desert Dancer" explores fascinating aspects of present-day Iran but suffers mightily from simplistic and sentimental tendencies.
Eye for FilmAugust 07, 2016Raymond might sometimes hit his beats too hard but he does keep his eye on the bigger picture.
Epoch TimesMay 20, 2016Characters' brief moments of freedom are stirringly depicted in Richard Raymond's based-on-fact bio-picture, Desert Dancer.
CineVueApril 22, 2016A lifeless, contrived and remarkably unengaging rallying cry for freedom of expression and self-fulfilment in the face of adversity.
Radio TimesApril 21, 2016There is so little political depth and dramatic tension in the leaden script that the subversive aspect of Ritchie and Pinto's platonic partnership is almost negligible.
