Pina is a celebration of what it is to inspire greatness, a passionate dance of life, love and inspiration that transcends its central figure to become something as timeless, and as hopeful, as the innovative and remarkable woman who inspired it.

| Original Score: 3.5/4 | Mar 17, 2012

A remarkable -- and likely enduring -- tribute to an artist committed to creating dance theater drawn from humanity's deepest physical and emotional reserves.

[An] utterly transfixing, exhilarating spectacle of bodies in motion.

"Pina" isn't just for dance fans or those curious about the latest in 3-D. It's a celebration of life.

| Original Score: 4/4 | Feb 10, 2012

A unique and often sublime artistic experience, "Pina" is a 3-D dance film that immerses us in the movement, letting us feel that we could reach out and touch these dancers as they float past us.

For anyone with an interest in dance, "Pina" is a must-see. For anyone not interested in contemporary dance, "Pina" is a should-see. It could change your mind.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Feb 9, 2012

Pina is a tribute of an artist by an artist, a friend to a friend. But its great genius comes from the mournful, as well as celebratory, reckoning of the performers Bausch pushed, collaborated with and inspired.

What might seem like a convenient bid for publicity - the first 3-D art-house film! - turns out to be the only logical way to showcase the action.

| Original Score: 3.5/4 | Feb 3, 2012

This meditation on movement and space, transportation and transcendence is not to be missed.

| Original Score: 4/4 | Jan 26, 2012

What the filmmaker has created is an inspired simulacrum - a jewel-box that contains more of Bausch's kinetic soul than film has any right to.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Jan 19, 2012

Crane and steadycam allow Wenders to get so close to the action that in the minimalist Caf Mller, one's illusion of being on stage is uncanny.

| Jan 19, 2012

"Pina"is the best possible tribute to Bausch, and to adventurous image-making.

| Original Score: 4/4 | Jan 19, 2012

I watched the film in a sort of reverie.

| Original Score: 3.5/4 | Jan 19, 2012

An exhilarating experience, both in its celebration of Bausch's groundbreaking work and in the thrilling way that Wenders captures it on camera.

Whether you're familiar with Pina Bausch's work or not, the new film "Pina" is a knockout.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Jan 12, 2012

So this is what 3-D is capable of when used for art rather than the commerce of hiking ticket prices and repurposing cartoons!

| Original Score: A | Jan 4, 2012

Pina is, in every way, a moving experience.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Dec 23, 2011

It should appeal to dance mavens, and to folks who have no idea what a pas de deux is.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Dec 23, 2011

The power and intelligence of Bausch's approach, which at times seems more cerebral than sensual, is communicated.
