Watch Billy Elliot For Free

Best movie ever!

Admirable film.

it is finally so absorbing because it plays like a lyrical road odyssey that’s also a detective story.

At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.

A great heart warming film that touches the soul of its viewers. Billy Elliot is funny, and tender, the mother and son relationship between Billy and Mrs. Wilkinson is certainly endearing to any audience.

Charming story about how a boy from a mining town becomes a ballet dancer. Shows his trials and tribulations in convincing his rough-hewn father and brother to support him. Story is manipulatively sentimental, but has many funny moments. Maybe a bit too join-the-dots, and didn't dig deep enough into the characters. Direction is solid, though the movie loses pace in the middle section and drifts a bit. The use of music was great, though there is an over-reliance on T-Rex.Good performances all round. Julie Walters deserved her Oscar nomination.

A talented young boy (Jamie Bell) becomes torn between his unexpected love of dance and the disintegration of his family.Although this film is alright, it just really did not appeal to me. I have no real interest in ballet or dancing, so I could not connect with the main character. I understand the theme is broader than that -- that we all have talents and need to bring them out. That is a good message. Just did not hit me hard in this film.What is even more interesting is how much discussion this film seems to generate about sexuality, and whether or not Billy is gay. Some say he is, some say he is not. The real answer seems to be: why does it matter? Especially when you consider he is supposed to be 11 years old. His sexuality should not be anyone's concern!

A good film that is dramatized a lot.Look at the scene in which Billy gets a call from school, and he leans back in the chair relieved with a sigh and there is a dramatic score that plays in the background, we all know that he is going to make it, at least I knew he is going to make it but I do not think it need to be that dramatized. So barring the melodrama this is a good movie in parts and touches a few right chords, like Billy's emphatic exhibition of Ballet to get a school admission or his dad saying "he is just 11 years old, lets give him a chance" these made me feel nevertheless but yet those moments were just not enough yet. Jamie Bell at his age, gave a supreme performance and it's a real tough thing for a 12 year boy to learn and perform ballet. Perhaps thats one of the reasons more than anything that this movie got a wide recognition. The script is good and so is the cinematography yet, there is something that makes the movie fall, and it is the editing. Remove the dramatic pieces and cut it down by 15 minutes, this wold have been a great film. Yet, the way it is, it is just good. Also, the music could have been toned down a bit to make the whole thing realThis film can be termed as a good self help movie as it helps us understand that if we have passion in something, mostly things fall in place and help us to pursue the passion. At least, that's what happened with Billy Elliot. Also a mention of Julie Walters as Mrs. Wilkinson, she was good each time and great few times.Overall, a good film yet not a recommended one. A 3/5 only for this.
