As a window on a world, Ballet Boys is solid. As dramatic exploration, it lacks attack.

A visually slick documentary, Ballet Boys takes steps toward being an insightful look at the lives of three young male ballet dancers, but unfortunately, it does not go far enough.

Rating: 3/5 --
The delicate bond that emerges between young boys under unusual pressure is the highlight of an otherwise fairly conventional doc.

Rating: 3/5 --
At 75 minutes it's too brisk and feels like a TV series edited down to the bare minimum, with questions left hanging.

Only in Norway could filmmakers make such an honest documentary about 14-year-old boys who dream of becoming top ballet dancers.

While the dancing depicted is often beautiful, this is more about the boys' friendship: a nostalgic insight into the kind of intense relationship that can occupy a teenager's world, but be all but forgotten in a few years' time.

Product Description:
Kenneth Elvebakk's documentary BALLET BOYS follows Lukas, Syvert, and Torgeir, three teen boys who become friends when they all begin serious training to become ballet dancers. The film captures them struggling with the physical demands placed on their bodies, as well as the toll their training takes on their familial relationships. Eventually, their bonds of friendship are tested when one of them gets the chance at a major audition.
