Review of The Company

The Company (2003)
1/10
A Complete Borefest
13 August 2005
I attempted to watch this movie and quickly regretted the decision about 30 minutes into the film. I was under the impression that the movie would make some kind of feeble attempt at presenting a story in a timely manner with some basic character build-up. Boy was I wrong. The movie seemed to avoid every possibility of a plot with a climax. The movie makes a sorry attempt at portraying the lives of ballet dancers in a company. I'm sure some research into the background of Neve Campbell, the so-called star of the film, would reveal some interest and background into ballet,I hope. Any ballet dancer could have been lead character. This film would have been better suited as a one hour documentary on A&E or Bravo. Over half the movie seemed to be dedicated to actual ballet performances,which were nice, but really dull. I'm sure there is much time, dedication, and drama in the lives of ballet dancers who battle it out to be the one performer who gets to shine on stage during performances, but this movie does a real boring job at portraying it.
