"I personally had never heard of Rudolf Nureyev until coming across this biopic, but the aftermath of watching this film definitely led me down a YouTube rabbit hole. A good sign that this film was somewhat impactful. The struggle is that while I admire that they used actors true to the region and role, it made acting and line delivery awkward. I also feel like Rudolf's ego sometimes came with no real explanation or background. At times, he was just purely unlikeable."

"Not a big fan of Biopics, but this film caught my full attention throughout. It was wonderful. Definitely recommend if you like the movie, “Billy Elliot”. Mostly because they both have a love for ballet and a sort of small upbringing. 5/5"
