I love this movie. If you like slow paced art house films with excellent character development that give deep insight into the characters behaviors , you should like this film. It deeply explores the psyche of Nureyev thru scenes of his childhood and youth before he became a Ballet superstar. Ralph Fiennes directed and plays in the movie. He is always amazing. The actor playing Nureyev is astounding. The ballet scenes were awesome. It all enthralled me. I want to learn more about Nureyev.
Engrossing story of dancer Nureyev's early years and defection to the west. Yeah, he could be a jerk, but his dancing (and Paris!) is sublime. Exciting build at end-even though we know the outcome.
Metacritic
The actor/director and his co-stars more than do justice to this fascinating moment in Cold War history and one of ballet’s transformative figures.
The dance sequences, in training and performance, are magnificent. Fiennes is fascinated by the athleticism of ballet, and the granular details of the flexing muscles in feet and forearms.
An interesting, challenging mess. The White Crow offers lots that’s impressive — Ivenko as Nureyev, the dance sequences, a knuckle-whitening last 20 minutes — but can’t render it in a dramatically engaging way.
