Overview: You thought ballet was easy? THINK AGAIN.

Best Performance: The choreographers curls were basically a featured actor.

Best Scene: When the director said she was in Andy Warhols apartment with bowls of cocaine.

Worst Thing About the Movie: There was definitely some Stockholm Syndrome going on in the ballet corps.

Special Shout-out: To the sweaty legs with no tights.

Thought I Had While Watching: I need to get some ballet tickets asap. Who can I get to go with me?

Role Anne Hathaway Should Have Played: The retiring director with some old age makeup on.
