Calendar Girls (2022)

Calendar Girls (2022). Calendar Girls: Directed by Maria Loohufvud, Love Martinsen. Florida's most dedicated dance team for women over 60, shaking up the outdated image of "the little old lady," and calling for everyone to dance their hearts out, while they still can.

“I just watched the documentary here in Sweden on SVTPlay. I was really hoping to get a cozy and nostalgic feeling and a personal portrait of the characters involved. Unfortunately this didnu0026#39;t reach that stage. Maybe because it was too short and a lot of things has to be squeezed into 60 minutes. It felt more, to me, like a part of a coverage on the evening news.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThe documentary follows a group of elderly women that perform dances to playback music in mostly elderly facilities. Iu0026#39;ve never got to know if they come from different walks of life or what they have done earlier in their lifes, which to me are a must in such documentaries. The result is a short film on them dancing and selling calendars to support a good cause. Only for some quick moments will you meet a person on a deeper level of her life.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eI honestly donu0026#39;t get the purpose of this documentary, itu0026#39;s not any revelation that there are older women that enjoy performing for an audience but I would like more inner thoughts and feelings of the characters, it would be much more interesting.”
