More of a drama than a musical

In Nflix's usual fashion, they don't bother to tell you it's a French film. It does have English audio but once I figured out it was dubbed I switched to the original French. This film is not complex enough to worry about large paragraphs of subtitles and the original voices are nicer (although the voice actors did a great job), plus French sounds so beautiful. I felt the film was quite slow and without much substance. There were too many long moments, to show emotion, that were inappropriate, especially while trying out for a big dance production. The lead actors were clearly not real dancers and those scenes were just part of the story as opposed to offering the viewer a wonderful performance. The camera chops up the visual too much in the effort to hide the fact these 2 can't really dance well. Their dancing was so filled with effort and clumsiness. The really great dancing was extremely limited but at least 2 fun break-dance battles with good choreography. This is not a dance film, it's just a drama about 2 dancers with personal challenges that manage to meet. But it is very romantic in the parts. There's a really beautiful song near the end (tourner la page essayer de vivre ) - it's called Vivre by Slimane.

Dance

See what I did there? I added a word to the title and the result is ... well what the movie is about (?). That is more or less, because this is not just about dancing. It is about freedom and it is about love too. Things to be expected many probably will say and yes this is predictable to a degree at least. Still the drama is very well drawn out and the story makes sense.Our main character has flaws as has her love interest. Drama as some might call it (all will call it?). But you need that to make an enticing viewing and movie. The dance scenes, the other very important factor here, are very well choreographed and incorperated into the dramatical structure of the movie. If you are into dance movies, this will tickle your excitement bone ...
