What it's about:
A young woman is entranced by an Aerialist. When they fall into the dreamlike world of Cirque du Soleil and are separated, they travel through the different tent worlds trying to find each other.
What the critics thought:
"It's solemn, tasteless, overdressed, a circus smelling of Chanel No 5 rather than sweat and sawdust."
- Philip French, The Observer
"A bona fide high-wire act, Cirque du Soleil: Worlds Away delivers towering thrills through its candy-colored 3D ode to the titular outfit's astounding acrobatics."
- Rob Nelson, Variety
"Even if the film is no substitute for the real thing, it is at least an effective advertisement."
- A.O. Scott, New York Times
