thiago S @Thiagostone 3d Filme fraco, o roteiro é fraco, as cenas são fracas, a história é fraca, o elenco é fraco, e ninguém ajuda a melhorar o filme, os personagens são fracos, e o filme deveria ter cenas bem melhores e relevantes, para fazer o filme ser bom See more Harold S @Harvey77 Jan 26 The fierceness of the MacLaine / Bancroft feud against the backdrop of such beauty and art is a compelling piece of filmcraft.

I enjoy little details such as the main character walking with turned out feet down the streets in New York. Not high art, but a favorite! It has dance, drama, and after enjoying a seasion of Etoile, I had to watch it again. Think of it as a bit of camp but if you are a dance lover, I recommend this film and take it as it is. See more Jeff M @jeffmarshallmovieblogger 01/21/2024 This movie shares the unfortunate distinction with one other motion picture - 1985's THE COLOR PURPLE - of having the most Oscar nominations (11 to be exact) without a single win. Well, in this case, I think the film was very lucky to have gotten as many nominations as it did. I have mad respect for most if not all involved in this production both in front of and behind the camera, but it just didn't work for me. At its core, this is basically a 1940s women's picture - something rare in the 70s and even rarer in modern times. I was rooting for it, I really was, but the spark never caught fire. My basic problem is that I didn't care for any of these characters, and their consistent complaining and unhappiness grew rather tiresome after awhile. Dancers Mikhail Baryshnikov and Leslie Browne both received supporting Oscar nominations, but while their moves on stage are predictably riveting, neither performance feels awards-worthy in any way. Brown, in particular, seems very uncomfortable in any scene that doesn't involve dance. The two leading ladies are dependably strong, particularly Bancroft, but I didn't feel compelled by either performance. There are TONS of ballet scenes here, so depending on your love of the art form, this may be an advantage or a hindrance. It's well made, but I expected more based on the pedigree and awards attention. See more steve d @RT35616104 07/15/2020 A powerful story and a never ending line of great performances.
