    My ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ review of THE TURNING POINT boxd.it/evCEl1 Authentic peek behind scenes of professional dance troupe. Music! Ballet! MacLaine & Bancroft reminisce & ponder regrets, each envying the other. Thoughtful & raw, both are terrific. Most of the dancers, though, aren't strong actors! #filmsky 📽

Beautiful Baryshnikov nabbed an Oscar nod (1 of 11, inc. both leading ladies) for tale of choices, rivalry & regret set in world of ballet.
