Critics consensus

“Gorgeous cinematography captures dazzling choreography in an engaging portrait of a dancer's life, even if Polina can't quite twirl itself away from clichés.”

Despite the panache with which the dance sequences are presented, it is frustratingly inert dramatically.

There is something about Polina that captures my imagination entirely, a poignantly fragile beauty to it that belies a sturdy heart and a will made out of iron.

An epic film in scope, but intimate in the way we are imbedded in Polina’s life and passion.
