Review of Billy Elliot (2000) by Heather T — 25 Aug 2008
Strangely enough, the musical is better. While certainly touching and lovely, all of the characters are much richer in depth in the musical. Jamie Bell is absolutely wonderful, as is Julie Walters, but the father and brother characters are never given the dimension they need to become truly sympathetic.
