synopsis
When a ballet class is offered in his village, Billy gives up boxing to join the lessons taught by Mrs Wilkinson, soon discovering his hidden talent.
An exquisite, ecstatic film, crude in its characterizations and plotting, yes, but extraordinary in its capacity for elation and its hard-earned sentimentality.
Portland Oregonian
The unvarnished, non-enhanced spectacle of a human being executing a display of physical prowess will always have the power to astonish, and the young Jamie Bell proves this very nicely.
