'First Position' is a documentary about 6 aspiring ballet dancers. I like dance and have known a couple dancers in my time and been forced to watch my fair share of dance movies like 'Center Stage' and 'Save The Last Dance' and for the most part liked them. I was anticipating to be much more inspired by this movie. Of course there is not that much dancing actually in the movie. The fascinating part of the film is showing the sacrifices and discipline these kids have to have at such an early age. They act more adult simply because of the dedication that pursuing ballet entails.
The problem is, I don't know if I care about these kids. They are privileged. We are left wanting more...
Rent It.
