This movie was practically a documentary about life behind the scenes of a ballet company, except that it wasn't very successful in telling an interesting story at that either.
There weren't really well-developed characters or a plot, this movie is mostly lots of ballet with a few very random rehearsal and outside life scenes thrown in in between. It was interesting when they showed a rehearsal and then cut to the performance of what they were rehearsing, but even then they didn't show enough coherent rehearsal time to provide much insight into the performance.
The ballet scenes, however, are fantastic and if you enjoy watching ballet, this movie is rarely boring. However, it really doesn't succeed as a movie because the rest of the filler is superfluous and uninteresting.
