Leave your thoughts about The Turning Point.
| FulvueDrive-in.comChuck O'LearyA glorified made-for-Lifetime-cable movie. |
| The New York TimesVincent CanbyThe Turning Point is entertaining, not for discovering new material, but for treating old material with style and romantic feeling that, in this day and age, seem remarkably unafraid. |
| VarietyVariety StaffThe Turning Point is one of the best films of its era. |
| Washington PostGary ArnoldThe most attractive and persuasive movie about ballet performers ever created for a mass audience. |
| NewsweekDavid AnsenThe Turning Point features a few laughs, lots of maudlin moments, superior dancing from a host of real ballerinas, and an occasionally perceptive script. |
| TIME MagazineRichard SchickelIt is hard to imagine anyone, with the possible exception of preadolescent males, who will not, in the end turn on to Turning Point. |
| Chicago ReaderDave KehrFor a film ostensibly dedicated to physical grace, Ross's images are unforgivably clumsy. MacLaine and Bancroft, though, work up some sparks in the last two reels. |
| Kansas City KansanSteve CrumMacLaine and Bancroft are electric to watch. |
| Spirituality and PracticeFrederic and Mary Ann BrussatA wonderful film about the friendship between two women and about the marvels of ballet. |
| User ReviewByron BThis is the movie that inspired me to take up dance. |
