Nothing too unique here, story of a father and son with a damaged relationship, but very watchable. Part of the watchability comes from the other, older son and seeing the father's relationship with both of his boys and how they differ. And whilst we get a healthy look at both relationships, the one with the older son never detracts or distracts from what this movie really is about; Billy, his dreams of being a ballet dancer, and his relationship with his father. This is very much about Billy and shows that no matter the condition of the relationship between a parent and child, the parent still loves and sacrifices what they can and must for their child, or at least that they should. This is a better than good movie that was almost ruined by the ending if not for that fact that it demonstrates the pure happiness and pride of a parent seeing their child succeed at what they want and what makes them happy.......................oh, um, spoiler alert by the way.
