C+
"Contains many haunting moments and some striking shards of dialogue, but overall it's an uneven, often pretentious effort."  One Guy's Opinion  Frank Swietek

B-
"It won't be the smoothest ride you'll ever take on the cinematic reservation, but those who have traveled the washboards will understand that this film is the 'real deal.'"  Old School Reviews  John A. Nesbit

"A blazing performance by Evan Adams."  Planet Sick-Boy  Jon Popick

2/5
"This string of fragmented scenes often feels trite and polemical."  TV Guide's Movie Guide  Maitland McDonagh

D
"a stunted story of supposed redemption and forgiveness. Neither homespun or avant garde, Fancydancing attempts to be all things for all people and winds up being nothing for anyone."  TheFilmJournal.com (Ohio)  Rick Curnutte

B-
"The anger and betrayal hanging in the wake of shattered relationships and conflicted identities leave an admirable untidiness where most films would force resolution."  Seattle Post-Intelligencer  Sean Axmaker

2.5/4
"There is a certain literariness about The Business of Fancydancing that I found fascinatingly uncinematic."  Film Freak Central  Walter Chaw
