	Media	Author	Review
		David Hughes Empire	"It's a surprise to see Wim Wenders embracing 3D in its full, feature-length glory but the medium works well to capture the graceful swirl of the German choreographer's work. (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of five)"
		Kenneth Turan Los Angeles Times	"Whether you're familiar with Pina Bausch's work or not, the new film 'Pina' is a knockout."
		V.A. Musetto New York Post	"It's the dancing that makes Pina a visual delight. It should appeal to dance mavens, and to folks who have no idea what a pas de deux is."
		Leslie Felperin Variety	"Wim Wenders' dance docu 'Pina' reps multidimensional entertainment that will send culture vultures swooning"
		Stephanie Merry The Washington Post	"A panorama of emotion, in which one dancer exhibits pure joy and another severe aching."
		Roger Ebert Chicago Sun-Times	"I watched the film in a sort of reverie. The dancers seemed particularly absorbed. They had performed these dances many times before, but always with Pina Bausch present. Now they were on their own, in homage."
		Eric Kohn IndieWire	"A beautiful, heartfelt ode and a delicious feast for the eyes"
		Deborah Young The Hollywood Reporter	"Wim Wenders' stylish 3D mirrors the bizarrely captivating world of choreographer Pina Bausch"
		A. O. Scott The New York Times	"The power and intelligence of Bausch's approach, which at times seems more cerebral than sensual, is communicated."
