The Secret

Marie, who works as a successful door-to-door encyclopedia salesperson, has been married to her husband Francois for 12 years and has a two-year-old son. Though she is relatively content with her life, she feels something is wanting. Enter 50-year old African-American Bill. Initially she is annoyed by his insouciance, but she finds that she is irresistibly attracted to him. Soon the two are in the midst of sordid illicit affair. She knows little about her new lover, and he seems uninterested in learning about her, but the long sessions of lovemaking are something else entirely. Feeling out of control, Marie is increasingly repelled by her own actions. Psychologically, she struggles to reconcile her torrid encounters with Bill and mundane domestic chores such as bathing her son. Moreover, she finds herself incapable of hiding her adulterous behavior, rather she comes home with scratches and hickeys all over her body, to the devastation Francois.

In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.

The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.

Loved this documentary about older folks dancing hip hop for the New Jersey Nets basketball team. Very inspiring. The wonderful personalities of these dancers contrasted against the shallow, self-absorbed young cheerleaders was almost laughable. (How many times did their main coach say "I" in the film? Soooo many) I can only hope I will be half as much a go-getter as these ladies (and one gentleman) when i reach the 60 year mark. Teacher Betty/Betsy really stood out. She was such an interesting lady. Hearing their backstories was also a highlight. Anyone who thinks senior citizens don't have anything to offer the public should see this film!

I had the pleasure of seeing a screening of this film last night in New York. This is a heartwarming and inspirational movie that celebrates tenacity and indomitable spirit. It is impossible not to root for Betty/Betsy, Joe B., Audrey, Fanny, and the lot of the Net Seniors crew; often my girlfriend and I found ourselves dancing along and cheering, and the entire audience burst into applause at least four or five times over the course of the film. The film reminded me a lot of last year's Young At Heart, and fans of that documentary will find a wonderful companion piece with Gotta Dance.Go see this movie!

Put this inspiring film at the top of your list of fun things to do this summer! Gotta Dance is a must-see movie that appeals to people of all ages and backgrounds! So bring the entire family, then sit back and enjoy! I loved this film because it is about real people pursuing their dreams! It is sure to put a smile on your face and make you want to dance in the aisles! And it will change the way you think about "old" people forever! It may just be the catalyst we need to start a national dialog on aging in America! Forget about aging out--that's so 20th century--these folks are aging-in! Watch this team of older adults and get ready to cheer!
