Reseñas de la crítica

Even the few street scenes reek of studio soundstages, and the basement setting of the scary Return of the Repressed scene, like the climax of Psycho, feels exclusively like the inside of a tormented brain, condensed into a scream. Yet the remainder of the film seems largely phony and hollow, so it's no wonder it was the first Joe Pasternak production to lose money, with an unconvincing happy ending of forgiveness and reconciliation that makes things even worse.

What both [versions of The Unfinished Dance] have in common, however, is that they attribute a perceptiveness and dark inner life to children that's unusual for films of that era. In The Unfinished Dance, Meg is preoccupied with adult concerns despite the fact that her inexperience and lack of guidance make them difficult for her to fully comprehend. But she's nonetheless capable of bold action, depth of feeling, and moral growth, as conveyed by O'Brien's magnetic performance.
