a beautiful story about friendship, ambition, talent, longing for freedom (and parenting)

I know very little about ballet -and I usually do not get it- this movie helped me a bit to understand why it is loved.

In a way ballet was only backdrop for telling a beautiful story about friendship, ambition, talent, longing for freedom, and parenting. Without a line in the movie Tina de Bruin had a great role - and her acting really gripped me. The two leading roles were also very relatable, helped by a script that had the ups and downs of friendship spot on.

The setting of Amsterdam was done in a way that brought me back in time, and had the look and feel of that time. And yes, there was a lot of smoking that time...
