Top Critics Reviews

rotten:
With a plot that is constructed entirely out of formula situations and familiar plot elements, Center Stage feels like a rerun of Flashdance grafted onto The Cutting Edge.

Center Stage is the same old stuff, not an arabesque more.

The dance sequences in his film make the most exciting footage.

If you have the remotest interest in ballet, Center Stage is impossible to pass up.

rotten:
Assuming that every generation needs its own dance film, Hytner revists the turf of films like Turning Point (classic ballet), Chrous Line (Broadway dancing) and Saturday Night Fever (disco) and blends together their themes and persona to little effect.
