96% First Position
All Critics (46) | Top Critics (21) | Fresh (44) | Rotten (2)
A number of the performances are plain stunning - Aran and Joan, in particular, seem born to move - and in many ways watching the movie is like watching a sporting event; there are winners and losers and favorites to cheer on.
It's an intense journey, and Kargman captures it all, down to the dancers' bloodied and bruised feet.
Yes, it is possible to create a gripping documentary about the ballet world without resorting to "Black Swan" melodramatics.
Because its subjects are so driven and so talented, "First Position," which is about ballet, is more gripping than the norm.
It's in the quick audience-reaction shots of the young dancers' exultant parents and cringing private instructors that the movie finds its most nakedly human moments.
The film shows the grueling work it takes for young dancers like Zamora to look effortless on stage, and First Position shows teachers who range from supportive to borderline abusive.
It's a wealth of material at odds with a scant running time and shallow focus.
When it's over, you won't remember so much about who won and who lost. Instead, what remains is the expression on a young dancer's face, reflected in a mirror: showing the joy of being in love with what you do.
What we experience is the overwhelming thrill of the competition and the true agony of defeat.
It could very well compete for Best Documentary at next year's Academy Awards.
For someone (like me) who has never been to a ballet, the talent of these teens and tweens is a revelation.
It's 'Spartacus' en pointe.
Inspiring documentary about hardworking young dancers.
Almost loses its sense of good taste entirely in the final act, straining to build suspense and shape heroes. The bias hangs a little ugly in an otherwise passable, somewhat enlightening effort.
The cookie cutter format Kargman uses in presenting her subjects may be unoriginal but a safe way to introduce the filmmaker to her new audience.
Child ballet dancer and former journalist Bess Kargman brings a dancer's passion and insight to her directorial debut, illuminating the addictive magic and fierce demands of a ballet dancer's life.
Really, all of the dancers' evident passion for their art is, well, spellbinding.
These kids are proud of their tights.
Kargman follows the pre-established pattern of documentaries following competitions from crosswords to spelling bees, but the format works and she's found six kids ranging in age from 9 to 16 who are truly involving.

Laughs: A part of the game for 'Feud' host Dawson
NEW YORK (AP) ? Richard Dawson brought a saucy, unabashedly touchy-feely style to TV game shows as host of "Family Feud."
The British-born entertainer, who died Saturday at age 79 from complications related to esophageal cancer at Ronald Reagan UCLA Medical Center in Los Angeles, earlier had made his mark in the unlikely 1960s sitcom hit "Hogan's Heroes," which mined laughs from a Nazi POW camp whose prisoners hoodwink their captors and run the place themselves.
But it is as the kissing, wisecracking quizmaster of "Feud" that he will be remembered.
The show, which initially ran from 1976 to 1985, pitted a pair of families against each other as they tried to guess the most popular answers to poll questions such as "What do people give up when they go on a diet?"
Dawson made his hearty, soaring pronouncement of the phrase "Survey says..." a national catchphrase among the show's fans.
He won a daytime Emmy Award in 1978 as best game show host. Tom Shales of The Washington Post called him "the fastest, brightest and most beguilingly caustic interlocutor since the late great Groucho bantered and parried on 'You Bet Your Life.'" The show was so popular it was released as both daytime and syndicated evening versions.
And it was quickly validated by "Saturday Night Live," with Bill Murray in a satirical homage to Dawson as a leering, nasty figure who even slapped one contestant (John Belushi) for getting too fresh.
Not that everyone approved.
In his classic 1981 cultural analysis "Within the Context of No Context," George W.S. Trow identified "the important moment in the history of television" as the moment when Dawson asked his contestants "to guess what a poll of 100 people had guessed would be the height of the average American woman.
"Guess what they've guessed," sniffed Trow, harping on the meaninglessness of such an enterprise. "Guess what they've guessed the AVERAGE is."
Obviously, "Feud" fans would have feuded with Trow's dismissive attitude.
For one thing, Dawson played the show, and his duties presiding over it, for laughs.
On one episode, he posed this question to a contestant: "During what month of pregnancy does a woman begin to look pregnant?"
She blurted out "September," then, too late, realized this was a ridiculous response.
All the better for Dawson, who couldn't stop laughing ? or milking the moment for continued laughs from the audience.
His swaggering, randy manner (and working-bloke's British accent) set him apart from other TV quizmasters, who, more often than not, tempered any boisterous inclinations with defiant smoothness. Not Dawson, who was overtly physical, prone to invading his contestants' personal space ? and especially the women, each of whom he kissed without exception.
At the time the show bowed out in 1985, executive producer Howard Felsher estimated that Dawson had kissed "somewhere in the vicinity of 20,000."
"I kissed them for luck and love, that's all," Dawson said at the time.
One of them he kissed was Gretchen Johnson, an attractive young contestant who came on with members of her family in 1981. She and Dawson began dating, and, after a decade together, they wed in 1991. (Dawson is survived by Gretchen and their daughter Shannon, as well as two sons, Mark and Gary, from his first marriage, and four grandchildren.)
Producers revived the show as "The New Family Feud," starring comedian Ray Combs, in 1988. Six years later, Dawson replaced Combs at the helm, but that lasted only one season. Steve Harvey is the current host.
Dawson reprised his game show character in a much darker mood in the 1987 Arnold Schwarzenegger film "The Running Man," playing the host of a deadly TV show set in a totalitarian future, where convicts try to escape as their executioners stalk them.
But long before "Feud," Dawson had gained fame as the fast-talking Cpl. Peter Newkirk on "Hogan's Heroes," the CBS comedy starring Bob Crane set in World War II. The show made the ratings top 10 in its first season, 1965-66, and aired until 1971.
"We ran six years," Dawson once quipped, "a year longer than Hitler."
Dawson was born Colin Lionel Emm in 1932 in Gosport, England. When he was 14 he joined the Merchant Marines, serving three years.
He first got into show business as a standup comedian, playing clubs in London's West End including the legendary Stork Room. It was there, in the late 1950s, he met blond bombshell Diana Dors, the film star who became known as Britain's answer to Marilyn Monroe. They married in 1959 and divorced a decade later.
Dawson landed roles in U.S. comedy and variety shows in the early 1960s, including "The Steve Allen Show" and "The Dick Van Dyke Show." Then his performance as a military prisoner in the 1965 film "King Rat" led to his being cast in "Hogan's Heroes," which truly made him a star to American audiences.
After that, he was a regular on "Rowan & Martin's Laugh-In" and "The New Dick Van Dyke Show."
Meanwhile, he became a frequent celebrity contestant on game shows, including both daytime and prime-time versions of "The Match Game."
While still a panelist on "The Match Game," he began on "Family Feud," where his popularity grew to such levels that he was mentioned as a front-runner to win the "Tonight Show" host chair as successor to Johnny Carson, who at the time was considering retirement. Though Carson stayed put, Dawson logged appearances as a guest host.
In 1985, on Dawson ended that lengthy "Family Feud" run, the studio audience honored him with a standing ovation, and he responded: "Please sit down. I have to do at least 30 minutes of fun and laughter, and you make me want to cry."
"I've had the most incredible luck in my career," he told his viewers, adding, "I never dreamed I would have a job in which so many people could touch me and I could touch them." That triggered a laugh, as he must have known it would: a host who was both a lover and a jokester.

Today's VA Loan Requirements Make It Easier For Servicemen And ...
?
By Warner C. Judge
Thanks to the ease of the current VA loan requirements, members of the US military are having a shockingly easy time finding good housing. As long as you are an active or veteran member of the military, or are a spouse of a member of the military, you will be able to qualify for one of these unique loans, even on your first home.
Military members searching for a VA mortgage must be either active duty or a veteran. Individuals need to have served at least three months of war duty or at least 180 days of peace duty prior to applying in order to qualify. In the unfortunate case that a military member is KIA, their spouse will still have the opportunity to get one of these military-exclusive loans as long as they do not marry someone else before the process is complete.
While most loan processes seem to be quite complicated, this type of loan is actually relatively easy to get. While the VA is not actually responsible for lending you any cash, they will make sure that you get a special type of deal from the private lender you choose to do your financing with. With the support of the VA, whatever lender you opt for will be far more inclined to approve the loan you need under the specific terms you are looking for, if not even better than you originally expected.
All you need to do is go into your lender?s office and get the loan papers transcribed, and once they are looked over by the Veteran?s Association, you will be able to save a fortune. To begin with, there is a limit on closing costs and participants are not generally required to pay a down payment. These days, when a civilian homebuyer runs into a problem that prevents them from paying their mortgage when they should, they can rely on a mortgage insurance company to pick up their slack for the time being, but you would get that same great service for no extra cost. Other benefits include reduced interest rates, flexible payment terms and no prepayment period.
Members of our nation?s armed forces have put a lot on the line in honor of their nation. Offering these fantastic sorts of loans to our service members is a reward they definitely each deserve. Now that the VA loan requirements have become so easy to meet, this already incredible reward has become even better for those brave men and women who qualify for it. Interested applicants must visit their preferred bank or credit union today and grab an application to begin the process of approval.
If you?re buying a new home, there are various home loans available in today?s financial. Through VA mortgage you will have all the opportunities to have the lowest interest rates available. Please visit vamortgageleader.com for more benefits and savings available today.
