Billy Elliot is one of my all-time favorite movies. I'm not usually one for the movies that leave you with the warm fuzzy feeling inside... but I most definatley loved this movie.
One thing must be understood from the very beginning: This movie is very very British. My parents had a hard time understanding the speech at times, (which doesn't say much, but still,) and it's not just British accents... it's Durham accents. It's a kind of scottish/caulkney/british mix. Or something like that, lol.
The cast is totally lovable, and they all portray very human charachters, flaws and all. The cinematography was absolutely stunning, and it made the movie very easy on the eyes. Accompanied by a fun 80's soundtrack, and a load of dancing... it makes the movie :) Although, Jamie Bell does look like an arrogant little worm...
At least he can dance, right?
9/10 ^_^
