Beautifully made movie. The acting, cinematography, and soundtrack were terrific. I was totally pulled into the story, which was complex and emotional.
Giving this 4 stars instead of 5 because it drags with sadness after awhile. See it - just don't expect many light moments. Just when you think it can't get worse for Javier and his loved ones, it does! but there are some touching acts of human kindness, and it ends on a strangely somewhat positive note. p.s. the little boy playing Javier's son was wonderful!
See this movie! A wonderful behind the scenes look at the tryouts for the broadway revival of Chorus Line. Since Chorus Line is about tryouts for a broadway musical, this it like watching Chorus Line FOR Chorus Line. Kudos to the film makers for the wonderful footage, and for bringing us into the lives of the incredibly talented young performers as they sing/dance/act their way from 3,000 applicants to the final cut. I loved it - the music, the dancing, the laughter & tears - the best movie I've seen all year!
