[This is a repost of our review from the 2018 Toronto International Film Festival.Teen Spiritopens today in limited release.] Max Minghella’s directorial debutTeen Spirittotally won me over. It’s one of those movies I hadn’t planned to see in Toronto. One of those movies you see because it fits your schedule, and you just hope for the best.

Dancing With The Starshas a reputation for being one of the best competition shows out there, because of the vulnerability and the passion coming from the judges. Throughout the many years and seasons of this show, the judges have always kept it real and honest, until recently. Back then, the judges, especiallyLen Goodman, were cutthroat. The scores were brutal but honest. During the first couple of weeks, when the celebrities who had no dance experience were still warming up to dancing, the scores were usually between a 3 and a 5....
