Reviews

Fiennes and Adele Exarchopoulos, playing Nureyev's French girlfriend, turn in fine performances, but roses and raptures, please, for Ivenko, who is not only as beautiful as Nureyev, and dances sublimely, he can act, besides.

Alison Rowat, The Herald

There are moments of greatness here - in the climax of the final act, the defection itself - where the direction is as lean and agile as any of the dancers.

Wendy Ide, Observer

A classy - and respectfully sexy - night at the movies.
