(1 - 8) of 8 OFCS Rating: 88% Fresh Page   1   3.5/5 "As any good film that culminates in a dance competition must, it hypes the pounding music, cheering crowds, and mawkish family backstories to the extreme."   Filmcritic.com   Chris Barsanti B ""Planet B-Boy" takes a step toward bringing together foreign communities by sharing a communal model of freedom of expression--the freedom of movement."   ColeSmithey.com   Cole Smithey "Notoriety and financial reward are hard to come by in the world of b-boying, a reality illuminated by Benson Lee's documentary."   Village Voice   Ed Gonzalez 3/4 "Benson Lee’s feel-good documentary profiles five break-dancing crews as they prepare to compete at German promoter Thomas Hergenrother's international 'Battle of the Year' in 2005."   TV Guide's Movie Guide   Maitland McDonagh 1.5/4 "Director Benson Lee makes sure to serve up his topic's key points, but only in easy-to-digest bites that eschew any real investigation into the movement's history, pioneers, influences, and multicultural variations."   Slant Magazine   Nick Schager 3/5 "Director Lee uses some very whizzy editing, maintaining our interest over the long running time."   Shadows on the Wall   Rich Cline B "...a well-balance work that captures the often jaw dropping performances by the dancers."   Reeling Reviews   Robin Clifford 7/10 "The energy that flows out of the screen is not only uncontrollable, it is contagious. Miss this flick at your own risk."   Monsters and Critics   Ron Wilkinson  (1 - 8) of 8 OFCS Rating: 88% Fresh Page   1
