Review of Mao’s Last Dancer (2009) by Mel M — 23 Sep 2009
The movie changed the focus of the book from childhood and Dancing school to his defection, so a lot of the culture shock/awakening was lost. Some amazing dancing though. Contrived surprise appearance by parents dragged emotions through the wringer.
Stick with the book.
