My Movie Review: The movie is quite impressive in execution as suspenseful in atmosphere but it never ratchets up the intensity to a level where it seems memorable and story didn't pop!! Break is very moving though it is not inspired by any one person, nor will it feature real rappers and other musicians, The Breaks is actually based on a true story it uses Real Hip Hop History! Break is nothing new or surprising, but the expression and art form are wondrous to watch especially the dancing in the edge of the building, that's insightful and progressive in my book:) Well it is about freedom and it is about love too, things to be expected many probably will say this is predictable to a degree still the drama is very well drawn out and the story makes sense! The dance scenes are very important factor here very well choreographed and incorporated into the dramatical structure of the movie, if you are into dance will tickle your excitement bone! What is extremely rare is that their acting and dancing stand on their own, many dancers of this caliber have trouble being believable as straight actors but both leads are such exception:)

Others Review: Break (2020) review – a seen-before premise but with wonderful expression! Not another one. That’s the first thought that ran through my mind when I saw the premise for Break. I’m such a sucker for movies that involve dance, and since Step Up, we have become far too accustomed to these emotionally driven, romantic, street-dance-like stories. Its premise despite the lack of originality can stimulate the viewer; it has that similar feeling that movies about sports bring anticipation and growth of the characters. Break brings nothing new to the table, but there’s no denying it’s delivered right; it follows a dancer named Lucie, and after an unfortunate accident, she has to find the confidence to return to the dance scene. The lead has to overcome family troubles after hitting rock bottom, but the story offers an opportunity, as she finds a like-minded dance partner who needs a second chance at life. Break has a strong form of expression ingrained in the story; the French Netflix film understands dance at heart. This is not a generic dance movie — there’s some emotive Art form behind it. Dance like you mean it:)
