Inside every one of us is a special talent waiting to come out. The trick is finding it.

County Durham, England, 1984. The miners' strike has started and the police have started coming up from Bethnal Green, starting a class war with the lower classes suffering. Caught in the middle of the conflict is 11-year old Billy Elliot, who, after leaving his boxing club for the day, stumbles upon a ballet class and finds out that he's naturally talented. He practices with his teacher Mrs. Wilkinson for an upcoming audition in Newcastle-upon Tyne for the royal Ballet school in London.

Bob Graham · San Francisco Chronicle 100.00/100.00

People who see it may feel like dancing out of the theater afterward. Go for it.

巴喆 4.00/5.00

按照中国儿童普遍的成长经历,就英吉利这孩子远远谈不上励志,毕竟还有钢琴可以弹,还有拳击可以打,还能跳芭蕾,而大人们还能罢工游行。全片励志点都不如他老爸为了小儿子的舞蹈梦放弃罢工和他哥哥拥抱痛哭那一刻。7.6

David Rooney · Variety 90.00/100.00

Strikes a delicate balance of comedy and pathos with an uplifting final act that delivers a resoundingly satisfying emotional payoff.
