Movie Reviews of Room to Move
Movie Review: Simple, straightforward plot. Kidman is good!
Summary: 4 Stars
I borrowed this movie from a friend simply because I wanted to see how Nicole Kidman looked and acted at the beginning of her career. As you might imagine, she was stunning even then and was a fine little actress.
I enjoyed her performance as Carol, as well as the second lead, a young girl named Angie, but the plot was too simple for my tastes. It's the story of a kind, generous high-school girl from a nice, normal family who befriends the troubled new, spike-haired girl in her school.
The new friends end up helping each other, indirectly, because Kidman's father is pushing her to become a huge track star. She has the natural ability but is uncertain about what she wants to be. Angie is a talented dancer, so Kidman experiments with dancing, much to the dismay of her father.
This movie is a coming-of-age story with an unresolved ending that ends rather abruptly. For that reason and because it lacks bursts of humor that might have redeemed it, I'm giving this one four stars.
Endnote: I found it interesting that this film was originally intended as part of a larger miniseries and is one of Kidman's earliest roles.
