"Afternoon of a Faun: Tanaquil Le Clercq" presents enough teasing glimpses into the dancer's personal and inner life to demand a fuller picture.

Boston Globe
This 2013 profile of famed ballerina Tanaquil Le Clercq divides its running time between biographical information and synopses of creative achievements, but it doesn't aspire to anything more than the sum of its parts.

Afternoon of a Faun is primarily the story of a woman loved, desired, objectified and watched by men.

Globe and Mail
[A] strangely haunting, often heartbreaking new documentary...we get to know this enigmatic woman for whom Balanchine created 'La Valse'...
Chicago Sun-Times
It interviews friends and confidants, provides glimpses of what she was like as a person and, best of all, shows us clips of her dancing, which tell us so much of what we need to know.
