    Though this is a movie, it is a very realistic look into the dance world and what the dancers go through to put a performance on stage. All of the actors in this movie are dancers in real life, and they do a fantastic job acting in the movie. The storyline is really great, and you get to see several different forms of dance.

    Reviewed in the United States on July 11, 2020

    A super film with an appropriately thin plot that draws one into the dance company. I especially liked that in the bonus section we can watch the dances only - without going through the movie again. Malcom McDowell was particularly annoying. But maybe he was supposed to be. I especially liked the variety of personalities among the dancers - the prima donnas, the past primes, the jealous ones, the retired ones, the ones that need a reason for the action, the ones that just dance no matter what. Oh, and the delightful spoofy holiday party.

    Reviewed in the United States on October 3, 2012

    I originally borrowed this movie from the public library and loved it so much I purchased a copy. I especially enjoyed the amazing dance scenes. Most movies about dancers are set around the relationships away from the stage and studio. I liked this movie because it was full of amazing performances by incredibly talented dancers. I've never been a big fan of modern dance, but I enjoyed the combination of modern dance combined with the more classical elements of ballet.

    5.0 out of 5 stars A Photographic Memoir
    Reviewed in the United States on April 15, 2004
    Verified Purchase
    The Company is a beautiful book of memories from one young dancer's (Neve Campbell's) year at the Joffrey Ballet. I call it a book because the movie shows highlights from her life much like a photo album shows highlights from a person's life. This includes glimpses on what life is like and the sacrifices that a dancer must make to achieve her goals. Highlights from the film include Ms Campbell's sultry, but clean, dance in the rain and the Snake Dance. The film is artsy and may not be appreciated by those who like a strong movie plot. But it is a wonderful book of memories from a year in the life of a beautiful dancer. I have only seen the movie and look forward to purchasing the DVD.

    3.0 out of 5 stars the dialogue feels 90% adlibbed - and not in a good way. Still
    Reviewed in the United States on January 28, 2016
    Verified Purchase
    This one's cold and disconnected, even moreso than usual for Altman. None of the characters really have any development or do much to make us care about them. Plus, the dialogue feels 90% adlibbed - and not in a good way.

    Still, it gets points for the lovely dancing. Neve Campbell looks fantastic with her strong legs and shoulders - even if her character is totally empty. And I like the glimpses of the artistic process. But that's all they are: glimpses. We never get a clear sense of what's required to create a ballet from scratch, cast and rehearse it, and finally perform it.

    A teenybopper pic like Center Stage does more to make us care about its characters while showing beautiful dancing and backstage action than this film does. In fact, I am going to rewatch that one soon.

    Very professionally done and it moves along nicely; I felt no lulls, or boring moments. It's an insightful look into the life of a ballet company as well as the lives of some of its members all woven together. The actors, actresses and dancers are professional in every way. Neve Campbell is excellent and I wish that I could see more of her in movies today. She has a way of making dancing, acting, just the "art" of living and relating seem effortless.

    5.0 out of 5 stars The Company is a Beautiful Film to Watch
    Reviewed in the United States on November 29, 2006
    Verified Purchase
    I hardly paid attention to the weak story line of The Company. Only Malcolm McDowell's character as the ballet director is adequately developed. Neve Campbell is always nice to look at. Still, I learned little about the actual dancers. But forget about all of that. The Company is gorgeous. I immensely enjoyed the dancing and training scenes. This alone justifies watching the film from beginning to end. And yes, even with its obvious weaknesses---Robert Altman's production deserves five stars.

    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on June 7, 2016
    Verified Purchase
    This film is a great introduction to a different form of dancing from the traditional Classical Ballet and the picture of a ballet company constantly battling lack of money, juggling casts when a dancer is injured, rehearsing and performing - notably during a thunderstorm on a covered stage but to an audience getting drenched as they sat in the open air - is compelling from start to finish. The mix of actors and dancers in the cast works perfectly.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Una vera compagnia di danza
    Reviewed in Italy on July 27, 2013
    Verified Purchase
    Chi conosce il dolore delle articolazioni e ha curato le ferite e le abrasioni dei piedi costretti nelle punte di gesso, riconoscerà il grande realismo dei temi trattati dal film che ripercorre le prove e l'allestimento di un balletto contemporaneo, sviscerato in tutte le sfumature dei diversi protagonisti e dei loro ruoli, dall'amministrazione di un bilancio teatrale, alle bizze e gelosie degli artisti, alla fragilità ed effimerità della carriera di un ballerino. A tratti volutamente un po' "lento", il film offre le bellissime e magiche coreografie di Bob Fosse e l'arte dell'American Ballet per far sognare lo spettatore, illudendolo di far parte della compagnia stessa per tutta la durata della pellicola. Intrigante.

    J'ai bien aimé ce film surtout quand la danse ce tient sur un fil. Remarquable cette scène. Campbell est formidable même si ce n'est pas elle qui danse dans certains passages. Je devine la dureté de ce métier pour voir la joie des spectateurs. Les applaudissements sont qu'une faible récompense mais si les spectateurs associent leurs corps pour montrer toute la joie que le spectacle leur a procuré alors oui la récompense est à la mesure du sacrifice des danseurs et danseuses.
    Bravo à tous.

    This is more like a literary short story with video, as nothing is resolved and no one changes. But it's beautiful and a great look inside the backstage of a ballet / modern dance company, with some of the most beautiful choreography (the dancer and the swing alone is worth the cost).
