This movie is so well done. I can watch it over and over and doesn’t get old. On one side it portrays the sacrifices and pain the dancers go through such as staying at size “0,” getting fractures, broken legs which can end an amazing career, struggles with weight loss that could make dancers to go even further and develop eating disorders. I have seen a talented ballet dancers being asked to leave one professional company due to, weight gain, bad attitude, and inability to make side splits. This is the reality in the professional companies and that was well portrayed in the movie . The end was so beautiful with two great performances!!!
