Our take
If the great documentarian Frederick Wiseman were to make a fiction feature, it might look a little like this late-career triumph from Robert Altman. Co-written by its star Neve Campbell, The Company is a mesmerisingly impressionistic ensemble piece, and a panoramic valentine to the world of dance.
