Synopsis

In Buenos Aires, real people of all ages are dancing in front of the camera without any inhibitions.

Reception

John DeFore in his review for The Hollywood Reporter said, "Buoyant and often funny, it will be a welcome palate-cleanser at fests; video prospects are iffier, as this one all but demands to be seen with a crowd."[4] Amy Nicholson of LA Weekly wrote, "Magically, this story-less montage becomes one of the most cerebral headtrips of Sundance. Living Stars is both dozens of mini-movies and no movie at all."[5] Phil Brown in his review for Point of View called it "endlessly entertaining".[6]

gollark: Genetic algorithms work by evaluating a bunch of things and merging/selecting/mutating the best ones, right?
gollark: It says here that Matlab has a `parfor` and `spmd` thing, are you using those?
gollark: Your personal computer probably has basically as much single-threaded performance as the best available ones now, give or take 40%, which is actually quite substantial but oh well.
gollark: That probably doesn't help if your thing isn't already parallel.
