One Last Dance Reviews:
ARTISTIC EXCELLENCE ! 
2009-11-06 - Absolutely incredible dancing -- soulful. A bit fragmented at the beginning. Most viewers would benefit from more dialog rather than relying on movement to tell the story. If one is not a ballet dancer, he cannot grasp the artistic excellence of this film without viewing "Behind the Scenes" under "Special Features". Make sure you watch this FIRST so that you can appreciate the film. Then you will understand the story, characters, expertise, quality, depth and effort that went into this amazing project.

This man can dance! If you like dance movies with a story this is a classic. Sad to no longer have him around.If you liked Dirty dancing you should have this one in your library.
One Last Dance
2009-10-22 - He was a beautiful dancer and we did not get to see him dance enough. I have watched it at least 4 times already and will watch it again and again. I am so glad they did this movie and that I bought it. If you like dance you will like this movie.
Possibley one of the most wonderful dance movies.
2009-10-21 - This is a stark and beautiful story of the tragedy and beauty of dancing life for ballet dancers. The lives of older dancers and how they are asked to return to perform their 'last dance' so tender and beautiful a story. Look beyond the words and see their dance together as one...its stunning.
Gorgeous dancing but too much verbal anger 
2009-10-17 - I love the dancing in the film and the discussions about the beauty of dance, but the anger scenes where for example a chair is thrown by Lisa and verbally intended for Patrick made the film less impressive and less enjoyable. The anger scene where Lisa doesn't want to practice with Patrick without a spotter is again another overdone anger kill scene. The theme of the film seems to focus on the anger Lisa has toward Patrick and it is constant throughout the film. It is really only until they get to the last dance, the last ten minutes of the film that they seem to come together as friends and as dancers that appreciate each other. I bought a copy of this film and I wish I hadn't. I find the film too hateful and too demeaning toward the main character, Patrick. If the Lisa character wasn't in the film and if the film had taken a lighter role it probably would have had more enjoyment for the average person who appreciates the beauty of dance but doesn't want to know about all the fights the dancers have between themselves in the process. I enjoy the dancing in the film and its beauty is tremendous but I really have to overlook the just hateful scenes and fights portrayed. I was really disappointed in the level of emotion that overrides the entire film. As the film states Patrick could do anything and he'd be loved, but the rest of the cast has to fight for their position and that is pretty much the theme of the film, the great dislike they each have for Patrick, for various reasons. The overall tone of the film was resentment. The most positive aspect was the last ten minutes of the beautiful and incredible dance. That dance is now posted on the web for anyone to watch. It is far more beautiful to watch than enduring this film and its underlying verbal insults that wade thru the entire film. Tiberius.
