Featured review
I don't know why this movie was not advertised and obviously only shown in a few theaters. We never heard of it and stumbled across it on Netflix and had to buy it online. The music in this movie excellent. It is beautiful composed and Johnnie really looses himself in the music. Johnnie plays the violin with a passion that is breathtaking. Ruby's dance is wonderful and she has that innocent Femme Fatale down pat. The dance off in the subway between two rivaling dance teams was unexpected, but I found them to be better dancers than the main dance team living below Johnnie. The final dance sequence is emotionally charged and one of the best I have ever seen. This movie can easily hold its own with any other dance movie our there. A must watch!

Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaAll the subway scenes are filmed in Bucharest where the old trains run filled with graffiti except the windows.
- GoofsWhen Johnnie takes the loner violin out of the case to play for Ruby in his apartment it is in perfect tune. When a violin, or any string instrument sits on a shelf and then travels, it would always have to be retuned because the tension of the strings plus the temperature, and even the subway travel, would change it.
