Review of The Turning Point (1977) by Ilsa L — 11 Dec 2012
Being the movie about the choices we make and their consequences on a long term basis I would have focused more on those situations than in ballet itself, because making the decision of marrying and leaving all of your dreams behind can happen in many other circumstances.
The film could have been great without all the shallow ballet scenes (some of them are important of course) which I think are gaps of time the director could have seized to make more riveting dialogue, like the verbal fight between Deedee and Emma.
Great performance by Anne Bancroft, I would say the same for Shirley MacLaine but she plays the same mom every time.
