Top Critics Reviews
rotten:
A luscious yet ultimately empty film.

rotten:
Although graceful and dynamic, Three Dancing Slaves is none too substantial or original.

[The film] is most successful if viewed as a glossy video-log of a men's trendy lifestyle photo shoot.

rotten:
It seems to take place in a vacuum, a dreamlike world of shirtless, well-muscled boys and darkly moody interiors.

fresh:
This lulling, banal, and rather pleasant film cultivates a mood of zone-out voyeurism.
