Ballet Boys

Shot over four years, this pleasant but not especially insightful Norwegian documentary tracks three teenage boys training at Norway's top ballet school.

The delicate bond that emerges between young boys under unusual pressure is the highlight of an otherwise fairly conventional doc.

A light documentary that captures the thrill of dance dramatics and the awkwardness of growing pains.

An engaging and frequently charming documentary but it’s more successful as a portrait of teenage friendship than as a look at the pressures of training to be a male ballet dancer.
