Katz creates a film so emotionally resonant, so heartbreaking yet hopeful, so tender yet intense, so realistic yet ethereal that it mesmerizes the viewer and holds their attention rapt....Dance Party, USA might very well be the best independent film that I will see all year. If you are somehow fortunate enough to have a chance to see it, do not hesitate. What your will be seeing is the future. Or at least the hope of it.
