94% Pina

All Critics (49) | Top Critics (11) | Fresh (46) | Rotten (3) | DVD (1)

Pina is, in every way, a moving experience.

It should appeal to dance mavens, and to folks who have no idea what a pas de deux is.

The power and intelligence of Bausch's approach, which at times seems more cerebral than sensual, is communicated.

An intimate and ravishingly filmed tribute to German dancer Pina Bausch.

We are among these dancers in their pain and joy and longing. We hear them breathe, feel the heat of their skin, smell their sweat, sense the pounding of their hearts, the ache in their thighs and feet.

A tribute to Pina Bausch, one of modern dance's most groundbreaking choreographers, pic lets the artist's work speak for itself via big, juicy slabs of performance.

From the hauntingly beautiful to the scary, Pina Bausch's post-modern dance sparkles in 3D.

It's an enchanting film, one that makes you feel you are missing something dear if you don't dance or appreciate it as an art form.

An often exhilarating, lively, magical and breathtaking experience of Pina Bausch's art.

A welcome departure from the by-the-numbers fossilization in today's documentary deluge.

Thanks to 3D technology it's dance film quite unlike any other, which was filmmaker Wim Wenders' intention, and it's a transporting experience for the uninitiated and the cognoscenti alike.

...filmmaking as glorious music.

An amazing and appealing 3D documentary by the inimitable Wim Wenders on the innovative dancer and choreographer Pina Bausch.

A movie that does more than demolish the invisible wall between film and dance; it breaks the barrier that intervenes, even at a live performance, between seat and stage.

Less a strict documentary than a heartfelt - and visually gorgeous - celebration of Bausch's work and her mode of working.

Pina belongs in the rare category of adventurous material matched with a thrillingly immersive form -- suck it, Avatar.

Beyond a nostalgic tribute for cognoscenti, this visually stunning film is a terrific introduction. It will be an essential resource and inspiration for future dance fans.
