    • Quotes

      Marienne Hotchkiss: Dance is a very powerful drug Mr. Keane. If embraced judiciously, it can exorcise demons, access deep seated emotions and color your life in joyous shades of brilliant magenta that you never knew existed. But, one must shoulder its challenges with intrepid countenance if one is ever to reap its rewards.

    A hidden gem

    Watched this on Amazon prime. A movie about love, loss, promises and a bit of dancing. A fantastic cast led by Robert Carlyle and Marisa Tomei and a great script, this is a wonderful little movie, both happy and sad. A big thumbs up from me.
