Arabella likedThe Red Shoesonce you get through the very beginning it begins to become interesting, Loved the cinematography the colors are amazing, the ballet dancing was gorgeous, i was interested in the characters as well, it intrigued me that Lermontov felt love or life got in the way of art/dance

Payge Eminovski likedThe Red ShoesBeautiful film but unfortunately too many good reviews kinds ruined it for me. Coolest part was seeing Vicky in pants. She ate that up
Jelena lovedThe Red Shoes"You cannot have it both ways. A dancer who relies upon the doubtful comforts of human love can never be a great dancer. Never."
