Title: BALLET SHOES

Director: Sandra Goldbacher

Cast: Emilia Fox, Victoria Wood, Emma Watson, Yasmin Paige, Lucy Boynton, and Richard Griffiths

Plot: Set in Thirties London, Ballet Shoes tells the exhilarating tale of orphans Pauline, Petrova and Posy Fossil, who are adopted by an eccentric explorer, Gum, and raised as sisters by his selfless niece. The timeless and uplifting story revolves around each girl’s struggle to fulfil her dreams: Pauline longs to be an actress, Petrova yearns to be an aviator, and Posy seems born to be a ballerina. But when Gum disappears, the money runs out - and the girls have a fight on their hands. Their struggle to balance personal ambition with the need to survive physically, emotionally, and financially, proves moving and comic by turns.

Release Date: 26 August 2008 (Limited Engagement)

Thoughts: Ok, so this totally appeals to the girlie side of me. Although I probably won’t see it at the theater, I will definitely rent it when it comes out. It sounds like a great movie to watch when I’m sitting comfortably on my couch at home. Plus I’m really curious to see Emma Watson in something else than Harry Potter.
