How She Move

In How She Move, young Raya (Rutina Wesley) has her life turned upside down when she has to leave her private school and go home to a rough Toronto neighborhood when her parents can't afford the school any longer. Raya's former friends, especially Michelle (Tre Armstrong) think she's a snob for leaving the projects and going to a posh school.

With her childhood homies ready to go down a path of drugs and destruction, Raya tries to get a scholarship back to her old school but, with horrible family tragedy and emotional upset against her, she blows the test. Raya decides to enter a step-dancing contest with big prize money to make her dreams come true. After a lot of drama between dance crews and old and new friends, she succeeds.

Video/Audio: This film wasn't high budget so the colors are a little more "faint" than some but the widescreen presentation is pretty clean and crisp. All the noise, funk and foot-stomping of the step-dancing action comes through in an exciting audio mix and shares all your speakers. Dialogue is separated clearly. No problems.

Special Features: "The Characters of 'How She Move" lets us meet the talented young actors in the film. Fun and charming. You also learn more about the backstories of each character. Nice feature.
