David Lewis San Francisco Chronicle 06/30/2020
[It] puts the art of dance in a whole new light, and it's fitting that a documentary about her is so well choreographed, too. Go to Full Review Radheyan Simonpillai NOW Toronto 10/23/2014

The doc feels more padded than the floor mats Streb's gravity-defying dancers bounce off. Go to Full Review Katie Walsh The Playlist 09/30/2014
A-
"Born to Fly" is a special film about an artist very much dedicated to an original vision, one that articulates the relationship of human bodies to space and time, and strength and resilience towards unstoppable and unmovable forces beyond our control.

Gund is able to capture the magic of what Streb does, which is no small feat, as well as the provocation of her work, which asks what is art not in terms of transcendence but of sweat‎ and tears. Go to Full Review Jamie S. Rich Oregonian 09/26/2014

08/25/2015 Profoundly moving, inspiring and exceptional. Elizabeth Streb and her dancers are defining dance for themselves unapologeticlally and even if it's not what you're used to aesthetically the enthusiasm and form is testimony of a life time of thought, blood, sweat and tears. I was poetically moved and wanted to feel what it was like to be an action hero! See more 08/02/2015 An Interesting Look At People Dedicated To Their Art, Warts & All. See more Read all reviews
