An unusual plot, beautifully written and acted. Plenty of strong messages throughout. This is well up to the level of some of the best US and European dramas. Nicely paced, and just about the right length for the plot.
Very different to "Billy Elliott" but ballet theme works just as well in this. The focus is on family relationships but with none of the political background in the British movie.
Minor flaws stopped me from giving it 10 but I don't want to go into detail about these as they are really minor and it would be impossible to explain without risking plot spoilers.
The whole production was outstanding and I am happy to give it a very strong recommendation.
