Potter dances very well, but acts her scenes with the vacant half-smile of someone kidnapped by Moonies and force-fed Prozac.

The Tango Lesson proves beyond doubt that Potter is adept at breaking down established boundaries between artist and audience.

Geoff Brown

RTThe Times (UK)Aug 6, 2024

You emerge from the cinema moved and exhilarated, with an un-English urge to dance away with the night, a rose between the teeth.

The effect is like being told an immensely long, shamelessly self-congratulatory anecdote by someone so deeply in love with herself that she has lost all sense of irony or humility.
