Dead Girls Dancing

Once... the woozy contact high of Roller’s impressively confident, hip style wears off, there’s not a lot left that makes a lasting impression in a densely populated category.

Fresh, honest and energetic, Dead Girls Dancing is a moving snapshot of the high price girls must sometimes pay to become women.

Dead Girls Dancing is so thin as to feel more like a music video, a short story pushed far past its appropriate length, or a high schooler’s prose poem than it does a feature film.

"Dead Girls Dancing" soars in the second half when it gains energy and momentum, pivoting from its moody and somber tone to a more exciting and stakes-raising one.
