It&#8217;s as easy as one, two, cha-cha-cha. Yes, this is another one of those movies about finding your own soul, and perhaps a soul mate, on the dance floor. But &#8220;Marilyn Hotchkiss&#8221; demonstrates that the same old construct can be made thrillingly fresh with the right components. In fact, this film does other power-of-dance movies one better by downplaying the dancing &#8212; it&#8217;s in there, but doled out carefully &#8212; and underscoring what its brethren often lack: a compelling, wrenching and wonderfully inspiring story.
