A feature documentary on African American ballerina Misty Copeland that examines her prodigious rise, her potentially career ending injury alongside themes of race and body image in the elite ballet world.
Leave your thoughts about A Ballerina's Tale.
| MovieFreak.comSara Michelle FettersGeorge's ace in the hole is his subject herself. Copeland is captivating, oozing talent and charisma in equal parts. |
| Village VoiceAmy BradyIn A Ballerina's Tale, director Nelson George paints a moving portrait of Copeland that underscores her triumphs over bodily and historical limitations. |
| NOW TorontoNorman WilnerGeorge approaches his subject with a great deal of respect, which sometimes makes the film seem a little cautious. But the more time he spends with Copeland, the more I could appreciate the choice. |
| Common Sense MediaS. Jhoanna RobledoEngrossing dance docu introduces powerful role model. |
| Los Angeles TimesMichael RechtshaffenCopeland's victories are shortchanged by the film's prevailing sense of detachment from its main subject. |
| Film Journal InternationalLisa Jo SagollaLacks critical objectivity and feels more like a public-relations exercise than the probing documentary its remarkable subject deserves. |
| Paste MagazineMonica CastilloThe movie follows Copeland on stage and off during an unprecedented chapter in ballet history. |
| The New York TimesBrian SeibertMr. George chooses to avoid the more heart-wrenching aspects of Ms. Copeland’s tough upbringing, and his presentation of her remarkable comeback is remarkably low on suspense. |
| Playback:stlSarah Boslaugh...sometimes this film feels like the work of a publicist rather than a documentarian, but it's still worth seeing, particularly if you are interested in ballet. |
| VarietyScott TobiasA worthy story gets flat-footed treatment in Nelson George's portrait of ballerina Misty Copeland. |
