I thought so too, but unfortunately it wasn't that good...
Well having seen it today all I can say is it depends on what you were actually expecting.
Speaking as one who, however philistine it may sound, still generally thinks ballet is not a proper thing for a self respecting masculine male to be interested in but who nonetheheless also thinks the female form in this art is
very powerfully alluring there was enough there to feast my eyes which ,after all,is the raison d'etre of this site.
As far as the movie generally was concerned I thought Natalie's performance
was compelling and If the Academy hadn't given her the Oscar then they should have held their hands in shame.
Bravo bravo. Encorce, encore ! (As I believe they say.)
