A film that is as comfortable and entertaining when its characters are still and silent as it is when they are exploding on the dance floor.

| Original Score: 2.5/4.0 | Sep 11, 2020

How She Move is fun to watch while it's on its feet and moving. But when the music stops, so does our consideration.

| Original Score: C | Aug 17, 2017

Shows that there's more to Canadian film than icy introspection, but it also shows they can wallow in formula as thickly as their Yank counterparts.

Another week, another urban dance movie from the United States.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Oct 18, 2008

| Original Score: B- | Oct 18, 2008

The formula is so old that you can almost forgive it. What I couldn't forgive is the soap opera/O.C.-like subplots.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Jun 4, 2008

...has little new going for it beyond a boatload of energy and enthusiasm. And pure formula.

| Original Score: 4/10 | Apr 22, 2008

Thumbing its nose at music video ho's as sex wallpaper, How She Move's got muscular gritty girl power, as females challenge the greater strength and energy of the male performers on their own turf.

The film does have great energy, and some fabulous dancing, but the script could have done with another draft.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Apr 11, 2008

It's a familiar set-up, but while the story falls back on clichés and trite moral messages, a few dance scenes deliver in spectacular style.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Apr 8, 2008

The dance scenes are fun to watch but the script's not too light on its feet.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Apr 6, 2008

With its trite story the film is never going to impress the average critic, but there is energy and passion that make the film work for its target audience, and the choreography is inventive.

Seriously, it is nuts the way these kids dance.

| Apr 3, 2008

Disappointing dance drama that suffers from a badly scripted plot, dull performances and poorly choreographed dance routines.

| Original Score: 1/5 | Apr 3, 2008

The screenplay saddles the characters with too many scenes revolving around tired dialogue, but director Ian Iqbal Rashid compensates by staging the vigorous dance sequences as if his life -- or at least his career -- depended on it.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Mar 16, 2008

How She Move is as lazy about its good intentions as most of the other recent dance dramas that may vaguely come to mind.

| Feb 29, 2008

Newcomer Rutina Wesley brings dynamite physicality and haunted intellect to How She Move.

Where, oh where, did this beautiful film come from?

Full Review | Original Score: 3.5/4 | Feb 24, 2008

It's actually fairly impressive how many cliches the screenwriter can squeeze into the script.
