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?
