Bursting with joy and throbbing with music, Rize has a tragic dimension too. When you see the clown cry, you'll be with him all the way.

Word-of-mouth should make it one of the best-performing nonfiction films of the year.

Eye-popping lensing and an appreciation of social complexities combine for an entirely satisfying experience.
75
It's the pushiest film around - "in your face" is still in-your-face, even if the dancers are in white-face.

The result is an eye-opening social portrait in the tradition of "Paris Is Burning," the landmark 1990 documentary that introduced drag balls and ''vogueing'' to the mainstream, but it lacks the earlier film's structure and focus.
70
Highly entertaining but underdeveloped documentary.
50
Emotionally charged but not entirely honest documentary.
