Thus movie touched me in many ways but on the top the beauty and acting of Talia Ryder. She remained soul of this movie throughout and non any other character even close to her and I gave 6/10 to this movie just because of Talia. The charm of the movie was all gone as soon as you realize that none other were actually Russians and all are Ukranians or European took part in this movie so their Russian and English both were pathetic and Russians must have been laughing about it while watching this movie. Further the film is made in Poland so it totally lost its charm as picturizing such a movie with Russians and on original locations would have made some sense and perhaps then this movie may score 8-9 out 10.
This film was beautifully executed and acted. You can feel Joy's obsession, her ambition, her dedication and her internal conflict. As an American dancer in Russia her life could not have been easy. It was certainly more difficult than she anticipated it would be. The physical and mental stress, the political corruption must have been a shock for anyone let alone someone so young. I can't help but wonder if she would have had an easier time if she paid more attention to the moment, to what she was doing, instead of yearning for something she didn't have. The film shows her planning and plotting while she should have her head in the moment. This film is a wonderful depiction of ambition getting in the way of success.
American ballet dancer Joy Womack fights tooth and nail to be accepted into Moscow's infamously tough Bolshoi Ballet Academy, with the dream of becoming a prima ballerina.
The obvious comparison is to Black Swan. Both films tell of the rigours and trials of training, becoming a ballerina, and then achieving greatness. Only a tiny proportion of ballerinas achieve great success, and this is about overcoming sabotage as well as politics and of course...training harder than anyone else.
Both films show the dark side and the bright side of ballet although arguably The American has fewer dancing scenes.
Talia Ryder is perfect in the role as Natalie Portman was in Black Swan. I totally believed in her dream, I believed in her ability to achieve it, and I believed that inside her she was born a dancer.
I wonder how much of the story is actual fact? Much of it is apparently, including the corruption allegations. This is how great the film was. It has made me question every aspect of it, and research Joy Womack's life so I get to know more about her, and generally have a more positive opinion of how difficult it is to become a great ballerina.
Fabulous film, I gave it a solid 8.

This is a great film . So much quality here ! First of all the sound editing and sound track were both extremely well done - the music and choices where to add music and where to go silent were meaningful and purposeful and crated the exact vibe to math the visual aesthetic.
Secondly the story itself is told brilliantly - you are left feeling the passion and desire and sadness - you see and feel the spiral into something completely raw and vulnerable- the love story here is between ballet and the dancer . The lead was incredible and she did an amazing job helping you feel raw .
The whole movie makes you feel sort of "icky " and question how far you would do to get what you want , what kind of person would you become to be the best ?
You are drawn in , impressed and left thinking long after . This review isn't doing this film justice but I loved it - it has an X- factor I can't even seem to put into words here .
Ballet is hard core - watch this !

Oh wow I loved this movie. It really got me where it hurts. I sat in silence for quite a while after the credits rolled.
I come from dance, haven't been in that world for years, but this felt so authentic in the way it captured what it was like to yearn to be better at something, devote every ounce of your life to it, constantly hit setbacks, and reach a point where your desire becomes an almost dangerous obsession to the point that it can make you question who you really are.
The images are so beautiful to look at from beginning to end, and everything about the film felt impeccably crafted. Most importantly, it didn't at all shy away from the tougher sides of what this kind of life is like. It felt honest, emotional, and completely overwhelming.
I am now newly obsessed with Joy Womack. Amazing!!

- Citações
Tatiyana Volkova: A great dancer knows her life is devoted utterly to ballet ... or not at all, they know pain ... is their friend, their companion, without which nothing will be achieved, not beauty, not talent, not greatness. The day you wake up without pain ... is the day you are no longer a dancer.
