- A real disgrace!
This film shows clearly that a good actor should just stick to his role, leaving the direction to who has that competence or talent. The Dancer Upstairs shows an extremely poor direction since the opening, followed by poor script, poor photography, poor music down to even a wrong title! The cast is of student level and the protagonist, Javier Bardem, one of my favorite actors [The Sea Inside, Before Night Falls] victim of probably the worst direction of his career. What to say? They didn't even get ... Read More
Rating:
- decent account
Alas, as a directorial debut for multi-talented actor John Malkovich, "The Dancer Upstairs" deserves recognition as a solid and idiosyncratic work in and of itself, albeit having somewhat flimsy points towards the last quarter.

Rating:
- A less than shining path
The Dancer Upstairs is a good but wildly overlong and slackly paced political thriller directed by John Malkovich that doesn't live up to its material, a thinly fictionalised account of the capture of the leader of Peru's Shining Path terrorist group with added romantic complications. The script is good, the performances fine and, in Javier Bardem's case, excellent, but Malkovich's direction tends to keep its distance both from the narrative and from any sense of momentum. There's no urgency, no tension ... Read More
Rating: - Acid eats at society's underpinnings
THE DANCER UPSTAIRS is the perfect film for these times, when violence against societies comes less from declared wars between nation-states and more from shadowy international terrorist groups - or "freedom fighters", depending on your perspective.
Captain Augustin Rejas (Javier Bardem) is an officer in the police force that serves the capital of an unspecified Latin American country in the throes of an undeclared civil war. In the name of a mysterious "Ezequiel", random assassinations and bombings ... Read More
