Watched online, poor print, blurry.
23 songs in the Soundtracks, some used for dancing.
Ok film, and did not strike me as maudlin, despite the subject matter.
Credits said it's based on a true story. I found the idea odd that she was reduced to palliative care, which she refused, then went to her Julliard audition and won a spot in the school. I would think she would be too weak to dance so effectively. Spoiler alert: she dies without attending Julliard.
Rated 6.1 (841)
