Review of The Company

The Company (2003)
6/10
If you love ballet, you'll enjoy this film. If not, not.
2 June 2004
"The Company" is about a season with the Joffrey Ballet company. That's it. That sums it up. You'll get to see bits and pieces of ballet stuff, large and small, behind the scenes and before the audiences with full-on glorious, spectacular, sumptuous, heady colorful productions replete with all the usual leaping around. You'll come to learn that ballet dancers are people too and shoot pool and bum condoms and snap tendons and schmooz and hang out and drill and drill and drill some more. What you won't see is any semblance of a plot or story. Just ballet stuff. Lots and lots of ballet stuff. So, if you love ballet stuff, "The Company" is for you. But if you're like me and think ballet is kind of gay, you may want to watch NASCAR or rassling or something. (B)
