Get off your Duffs stupid gits and see this FILM!

Rating: 9/10 (15 November 2000)

Billy Elliot, is several great things. It is about becoming something important when the odds are against you. It has fantastic acting, where a hard fought striking coal miners family has to face odds with an impatient young man or face the wisdom of his father.
In this you add, the look and feel of a North England town, and the saga of a kid who wants to be a ballet dancer. What genius of writing only made brilliant by the fantastic cast in this film. THIS is what makes that Banal C**P coming out of Hollywood so mundane. Gary Lewis is fantastic as the coal miners father, the chain smoking ballet teacher is fantastic... and then there is Billy...
WHERE did they FIND THIS KID!! This kid is pure magic, how he acts and then to top it off dances in front of our eyes.
This is a film not to be missed and one of the best of the year.
Rating 8.5 out of 10
