Reviews


91
Portland Oregonian - Shawn Levy
An exquisite, ecstatic film, crude in its characterizations and plotting, yes, but extraordinary in its capacity for elation and its hard-earned sentimentality.
90
Rolling Stone - Peter Travers
Bell explodes onscreen in a performance that cuts to the heart without sham tearjerking. Look for Billy to blast off.
88
USA Today - Susan Wloszczyna
You'd be hard-pressed to find a purer expression of rapture in a film this year than the one that opens Billy Elliot.
88
Chicago Tribune - Mark Caro
A triumph that deserves a broad audience.
88
Boston Globe - Jay Carr
Bell is utterly persuasive as the boy literally yearning to leap beyond the oppressively apparent confines of his world.
