Into the Beat - Dein Herz tanzt

Positive:

• great main actors
• many fresh and varied dance performances
• good vibes, but also touching moments

Negative:

• often seen film idea without great surprises
• overly educational.

First why wouldn't the music match the dancing ? It makes no sense. Second. Are there no talented dancers in Germany ? I've seen better dancers get laughed of the stage on So You Think You Can Dance and America's Got Talent. What a waste of my time.

As far as predictable movies go ... well this is up there! No pun intended, but you can see where this is going. Actually you don't even need to see, you just know (also the music works - even if you have your eyes closed). Still there is an energy and a passion and a love for music and dancing here, that is hard to escape. Unless you are a cynic ... actually I am one ... sometimes, so I totally understand if this is too sugarcoated for your taste.

All that aside the rhythm and structure of the movie move along fine - and yes things are way too easy at certain points and the tough love aspect the male mentor is showing our female love interest ... actually his love interest, might feel wrong to some ... but hey we are all different aren't we? So suspend your disbelief if you can and just dance... express yourself any way you can, doesn't have to be professional. Go on ... enjoy.

The movie is full of cliches and the characters don't speak much.. But I like the movie and I like the way they dance together.. there is an connection between them and that is why I'm rating it 8 The movie is sweet, light and calm.

Great cinematography and good actress, but it felt fake and predictable on some points. A phew scenes were better than the others, I enjoyed the last dance, the metro part and the camera movements. I'm sad because I felt the potential of this film, but lacked a better and more original scenario and a real connection between characters. Congratulation to the team for all the work.
