What Billy Elliot Is About
Stephen Daldry's 2000 film is set in the north of England during the miners' strike. Sent to boxing lessons, Billy walks into a ballet class. His father is against it. The film uses class and the strike as ground; the narrative builds the dancing not as an escape but as a way of speaking. Jamie Bell leads and it is the director's first film. Julie Walters was nominated for supporting actress. The language is harsh. Who it's for: those who like coming-of-age stories with a social background. Who it's not for: viewers expecting a family film without swearing; the dialogue is explicit.
