There are far too many cringe-inducing cliches and gaping plot holes.
Richard Roeper, Ebert & Roeper
Fresh
The movie does have a strong sense of the special charisma and beauty of these young demons of grace who ride the thin line between dance and sport with unerring precision.
Stephen Hunter, Washington Post

Trachtenberg is thoroughly believable, an unspoiled charmer. Her rise from clumsy girl to someone brimming with confidence and the author of one heckuva physics project, she's a pretty cool princess to root for.
Desson Thomson, Washington Post
Rotten
Watching this week's world figure skating championships in Moscow, one wonders why the scriptwriters went to such artificial lengths. There's drama enough in the sport as it is.
