“With a seemingly run-of-the-mill storyline – that of an 11-year-old schoolboy wanting to be a ballet dancer – it is quite a feat to have made a movie as warm and entertaining as this.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eQuite simply, this is the best British movie in years. All the characters are intriguing, and the acting is flawless, most notably from 14-year-old Jamie Bell whose acting is utterly convincing, filled with humour and insight beyond his years. He is also a fantastic dancer, and some of the dance sequences are reminiscent of the dance-filled musicals of the old black and white movies.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThe backdrop of the historic minersu0026#39; strike of the mid-1980s, it brings the story down to the earth and adds the necessary tension to make this film truly believable and a worthy story to tell.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eI find it hard to see how anyone would not like this film. 9 and a half out of 10.”
