Rousing production with fancy footwork…As the b-boys flip, kick, spin – their feet barely skimming the water’s surface – and freeze their bodies in positions that defy gravity. Chocolate Rap reaches a sublime high. The imagery in the sequence is pure in its beauty and urgent in its power.”
• Nelson H. Wu – China Post
Chocolate Rap drips with hip-hop attitude…the breakdancing on display is dynamic.
• Patrick Ricketts – Video Views
The film is refreshing in form and story…the dancers are all professional street dancers whose performances are a great pleasure to watch and the acting is honest…
