Synopsis
editIn Buenos Aires, real people of all ages are dancing in front of the camera without any inhibitions.
Reception
editJohn 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]
