Quick Reaction: The Red Shoes


Like An American in Paris, this is another one of those movies that came highly rated from my watchlist. It's less obvious why though. It got decent Oscar attention. It was more of an arthouse hit though with less notable stars. I even check the critical response on the Wikipedia and that seems mixed too. It's an OK movie. I like the long ballet sequence in the middle The acting is fine, and the story is familiar but effective. It must be one of those movies where the filmmaking included new stuff that's common now but ahead of its time in 1948.

 

Verdict: Weakly Don't Recommend
