Dance Party, USA is part of a new direction for independent film: homemade movies that feel more personal than communitarian and, as a result, seem less moralizing and dogmatic than the familiar, tired Sundance model.

A pair of disaffected 17-year-olds are nudged toward adulthood in a movie that favors natural drift over artificial drama.

Top Critic
Given the obvious financial restraints (the total budget was $3,000), maybe Dance Party should have been a dynamite short.

Top Critic A film of easy set ups and resolutions, Dance Party, USA is best when observing how crisis is metabolized.
