Billy Elliot [2000]

Product Information

Six months later at the miner's annual Christmas show, the children put on a show disparaging Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher, who is seen as the antagonist by the coal miners ("Merry Christmas, Maggie Thatcher"). Billy's father gets drunk and sings an old folk song that elicits memories of his deceased wife and the usually stoic man leaves in tears ("Deep Into the Ground"). Left alone with Billy in the Community Centre, Michael reveals he has feelings for him, but Billy says that the fact that he likes ballet does not mean that he is gay. Michael gives him a kiss on the cheek. Michael tries to get Billy to show him some dancing, but Billy is sad and tells him to leave. Gans, Andrew (29 September 2014).

Jamie Bell came from nowhere and danced his way to box office glory in Brit musical Billy Elliot (2000). His real-life success draws parallels with the story of his on-screen alter ego, a humble northern lad who beats the odds to win a place at the Royal Ballet School. But the film also announced the arrival of director Stephen Daldry. He made his feature debut with this " engrossing, funny," and "very uplifting" tale that went on to bag a few BAFTAs and a clutch of Oscar nominations too. Gans, Andrew (18 March 2010).

In the early stages of watching new release Billy Elliot the Musical Live (recorded on Sunday 28 September this year when the show was broadcast live from the West End to cinemas across the UK and around the world), I wasn’t convinced it was going to be worth staying the distance. What was watching this recording of the show going to add to my experience of having already seen it a number of times at the Victoria Palace? Even the camerawork appeared to be setting too far a distance between the viewer at home and the action onstage. Outer Critics Circle – Awards for 2008–2009". OuterCritics.org.
