Als sich die Box- und Ballettgruppe im nordenglischen Durham die Halle teilen muss, entdeckt der elfjährige Billy den Tanz für sich, hängt die Boxhandschuhe erleichtert an den Nagel und beginnt mit Begeisterung zu trainieren - heimlich. Sein streikender Minenarbeiter-Vater und -Bruder würden es nie verstehen. Nur seine Ballettlehrerin unterstützt und ermutigt ihn, bei der Royal Ballet Scholl in London vorzutanzen.

Billy Elliot hat mich mental so erschüttert, dass ich mich zum ersten Mal im Kino für meine Gefühlsäußerungen geschämt habe. Ich habe etwa die Hälfte des Films lang geweint. Es erinnerte mich an eine schön gefilmte Psychotherapie... Die schöne Coming-of-Age- und Selbsterfahrungsgeschichte eines englischen Jungen dürfte eher die männliche Bevölkerung ansprechen; ich kenne tatsächlich keinen besseren Film über die Beziehung eines Sohnes zu seinem Vater, über den Kampf gegen Konventionen und Vorurteile. Ich habe in Billy einfach ein Stück meiner Dilemmata und unterdrückten Schmerzen gefunden. Ein großartiges Stück in jeder Hinsicht, es funktioniert als anständige Sozialkomödie à la Ganz oder gar nicht, als persönliches und soziales Drama und als süßlich-schmerzhafter Balsam für die Seele...

The story often borders on kitsch, and especially at the beginning I really felt like I was wearing a ballet tutu, but gradually everything turns out nicely, and while I initially sympathized with the views of the uncompromising father, Billy's persistence and passion eventually made me sympathize with his character and dream. I have some reservations about Bell's performance, but that's the case with almost every child, but the other actors make up for it. It's probably been a long time since I've seen a film with such a well-defined and precise script, and the execution in the end appealed to me, which certainly can't be ignored. 80%

I don't have much to complain about here. Another one of those movies I avoided for a long time, but in the end, I gave it a chance, and I must say, I was pleasantly surprised. A great story about a boy who just wants to fulfill his dream, with societal critique in the background that sometimes takes the forefront. The relationship between Billy and his father is brilliantly portrayed.

It's been a long time since I've come across a film that brought me to tears in the positive sense of the word. Until yesterday. I didn't feel that I was being emotionally blackmailed, and even if I was, I could forgive this film for everything. Emotions, that's what I love about movies. Thanks Daldry for a beautiful experience.

In terms of screenwriting, it's a simple small-town tale about a talented boy who wants to make his dream come true at any cost, and in order to do so, he'll not only have to undergo hardships due to his family background and his considerably choleric father, but the socio-political situation in 1980s Britain doesn't help either, which, by the way, contrasts quite well with the gentle yet hard-working nature of ballet. I don’t quite understand all the musings about it here, because there’s certainly nothing novel, though this is a proper, intimate British comedy with a positive vibe.
