Beautiful

Rating: 8/10 (24 March 2020)

Billy Elliot is one of the best British films I've watched. It's touching, amusing and uplifting. Film expresses the lead character's fight against his father and social prejudices to get an opportunity to pursue Ballet.
What sets this movie apart from others is how it focuses more on the attitude of Billy, rather than the skill to achieve the his goals. Characters are well written and poignant social commentary makes the film even better.
Stephen Daldry, one of the best in business, does a flawless job in directing the film. Billy Elliot is one of the must watch coming of age drama films.
