4 stars out of 5 -- "[W]hen the extra-dimensional dancing is afoot, PINA all but spills out of the frame with vim and vigour."
Total Film "[PINA] points the path to regeneration, by moving dance into strange, suggestive landscapes
Sight and Sound 3.5 stars out of 4 -- "[Wenders] visually dramatizes the spaces between the actors by moving his camera on a crane so that the POV places us on the stage and moving among the dancers."
Chicago Sun-Times "[PINA] takes unprecedented advantage of 3-D....PINA brings new meaning to the notion of a leap of faith, and new immediacy to filmed dance."
Wall Street Journal "[A] heartfelt -- and visually gorgeous -- celebration of Bausch's work and her mode of working."
Movieline "[A] marvel, with Wenders making at-times-visionary use of the 3-D technology, treating the frame like a stage with multiple planes of action."
A.V. Club "PINA is a knockout....The performance documentary takes us inside Bausch's extraordinary dances in a way that nothing else could."
Los Angeles Times "Wenders uses this old/new interesting/gimmicky technology to play with the human perception of dimensionality as something subtle and profound, and not just a snazzy trick. The result in PINA, is...wow." -- Grade: A
Entertainment Weekly 3.5 stars out of 5 -- "[A] stylish, heartfelt tribute....It's a mood piece more than a conventional documentary..."
