These stories of struggle, leading to triumph or defeat, are what make Every Little Step so fascinating. They're also the film's weakness - we only get a taste of who these people are and how they came to be here.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Dec 7, 2018

Every Little Step, like A Chorus Line itself, should prove catnip for any self-respecting, self-flagellating actor-dancer.

| Oct 20, 2014

There's a terribly interesting story behind the creation of the musical phenom A Chorus Line, but don't look to this confused and often self-congratulatory documentary to tell it.

| Original Score: 2/6 | Nov 16, 2011

The documentary, edited down from some 400 hours, is packed with crowd-pleasing moments.

| Dec 16, 2009

Like the dancers themselves, this documentary has heart.

| Original Score: 8/10 | Oct 25, 2009

The tights and the hairstyles may have changed a lot in 30 years, but the desperation and the elation remain the same.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Oct 7, 2009

It's all up there on the screen in this impassioned, exhilarating documentary. They want to dance for you. It's what they did for love.

| Aug 23, 2009

Dedicated theater rats might enjoy it, but it's too one-dimensional to qualify as a singular sensation.

Full Review | Original Score: 2/2 | Aug 14, 2009

It says nada about Broadway that hasn't been said better many times before.

| Original Score: C | Aug 12, 2009

Broadway fans -- as well as aficionados of A Chorus Line -- should get a kick out of Every Little Step.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Jul 23, 2009

A film that's a bit Chorus Line and a bit American Idol, with hopefuls finding themselves auditioning for the very people who created the landmark show in which they wish to appear.

| Original Score: B | Jul 17, 2009

Feeds our ever-growing need to root for talented performers seeking that proverbial big break.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Jul 15, 2009

All the dancers who move towards the final cut are so good that the line between success and failure seems cruelly arbitrary and the disappointment of those who don't make it is acute. But nobody's giving up.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Jul 9, 2009

A straightforward boosterish movie about the glory of musicals.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Jul 9, 2009

We're left with a deep sense of admiration for those who are prepared to face rejection routinely in pursuit of a dream.

| Original Score: 5/6 | Jul 3, 2009

There is something piercingly affecting about this film and it's mainly to do with how much this particular musical means to the dancers and singers whose lives it represents.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Jul 2, 2009

There are still plenty of engrossing aspects to the film, moments in the audition process that demonstrate the complexity of performance.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Jul 2, 2009

I was thrilled and moved by Every Little Step, despite the abundance of bad dancing pouring out of reality television these days, because it's about the real thing, and offers marvellous insights into of the process of creating a Broadway hit.

| Jul 2, 2009

This fascinating American made documentary tracks a disparate group of dancers trying out for a range of roles in a Broadway revival of the iconic stage musical A Chorus Line.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Jul 2, 2009

Just as powerful as the original musical -- keeps you glued to the fascinating and heartbreaking audition process.
