How She Move was shot on the cheap in 16-mm. film, and some of it is a little drab-looking, but it has energy and bravado.
David Denby, New Yorker

As we replay last year's step-dance hit Stomp the Yard, the ostensible message about working hard in school gets stomped out of the yard.
Kyle Smith, New York Post

There's not much that's surprising in How She Move, but watching how she moves is a pleasure.
Moira MacDonald, Seattle Times
Rotten
How She Move isn't a great film or even a terribly well-made film, but it has its moments and, of course, it has the ending it's promised all along.
David Wiegand, San Francisco Chronicle
