Synopsis
[edit]In Buenos Aires, real people of all ages are dancing in front of the camera without any inhibitions.
Reception
[edit]John DeFore in his review for The Hollywood Reporter said, "Buoyant and often funny, it will be a welcome palate-cleanser at fests; video prospects are iffier, as this one all but demands to be seen with a crowd."[4] Amy Nicholson of LA Weekly wrote, "Magically, this story-less montage becomes one of the most cerebral headtrips of Sundance. Living Stars is both dozens of mini-movies and no movie at all."[5] Phil Brown in his review for Point of View called it "endlessly entertaining".[6]
