Step Up All In

“It’s the rare movie that knows its limitations, but also understands how to use form to best convey its strengths, pulling together countless complicated dance scenes in which the relationships between teams and characters come through more clearly than they could through dialogue.”

Ignatiy Vishnevetsky, The A.V. Club · 75

“The film has a muscled buoyancy and thrilling, joyful spectacles that make the fifth installment of the popular franchise an energetic crowd-pleaser.”

Inkoo Kang, Los Angeles Times · 70

“The space between the spectacles are just too laborious, creating the odd sensation that there's not quite enough dance in this dance movie.”

Kyle Anderson, Entertainment Weekly · 67

“It’s preposterous, but I dare you not to smile at the high-kicking silliness on offer, or the sweetly old-fashioned undertones: as the inevitable final showdown looms, loyalty, hard work and fair play are just as important to the dancers as strutting their stuff.”

Charlotte Runcie, The Telegraph · 60

“The fifth entry in the popular dance-off franchise is, like the others, a fantasia that upends the usual rules of filmmaking. Here, the more threadbare the scenario, and the more unmotivated an action, the better. Character and story just get in the way of all the awesome dancing.”
