About
You may like this if you enjoy dance-centered, reflective romances with an art-house feel, especially if Dance with Me or Impromptu appeal to you; Not for you if you want a fast-moving plot or easy chemistry.
Pros: striking tango sequences; intimate romantic atmosphere; elegant black-and-white look | Cons: very slow pace; thin story; self-indulgent for some
