Movie Reviews of Billy Elliot
Movie Review: Billy Elliot
Summary: 5 Stars
nchored by Bell's soulful lead performance, "Billy Elliot" is an intelligent, often humorous coming-of-age drama by veteran stage director Daldry about masculine prejudice and the promise of escape from grinding, oppressive circumstances. Set against the backdrop of the 1984 miners' strike in Durham County, "Elliot" has an acute eye for working-class sensibilities, but the main focus of this exhilarating story concerns Billy's efforts to translate raw talent into self-realization. An irresistible mix of fancy footwork and feel-good entertainment.Movie Review: CALLING ALL MUSIC & BILLY ELLIOT LOVERS!!

I am soooo frustrated!! In the film, what is the name of the piano ballad that is played when Billy is alone at the dance bar with Mrs. Wilkinson and they are rehearsing? (This is after the scene where Billy has imagined his mother in the kitchen). I have been searching for this song for years! Why oh why did they not include ALL OF THE SONGS from the movie on this sound track? Please help! Thanks in advance. Movie Review: Oscar-worthy in every sense
Summary: 5 Stars
I was absolutely blown away by this movie. At first the N. England accents were really tough for me to hear w/o turning up the volume quite a bit, but then suddenly they were clear. Don't know if it was the DVD or me. I've since watched Bell in other movies, and he's incredible. This movie is extremely heartwarming. His dad and bro are tough-as-nails coal miners, and Billy likes ballet. No, he lives for it. There are people who believe in him that get him through until his family finally come around, and then dad comes around big time. The ending screwed up the believability factor a bit for me, but all in all very well done. Movie Review: Powerful, Fun, Touching, and poignant

I wasn't too sure how I would enjoy a story about a 13 y/o boy but right from the start I was hooked on it. I first watched this movie when I borrowed it from a friend but I quickly knew I had to have a copy for myself. "Billy Elliot" takes place at time and place that give the story a powerful background and places it deep in to the culture of the English working class. The characters feel real, the music is great, the dancing is full of energy and the plot keeps you in the story. Billy's family is fully of love shown in the caring they have for each another and the lengths they will go to support one another. I highly reccomend this movie to anyone that likes a good ending. It is great for the whole family. Enjoy!Movie Review: The Truth Will Set You Free
Summary: 5 Stars
A wonderful movie about a boy whose family are coal miners in Ireland. This young boy wants to dance instead of following him father and brother into the coal mines. He rises above the ridicule of him family and friends and finds a mentor who helps him fulfill his dreams. What I love so much about this story is that one realizes you don't have to follow the norm in order to be happy and succeed. What we need to do is follow our hearts. I loved this movie and I believe you will too.
