Friday Family Film Night: BILLY ELLIOTT review

In which the Mister and Monsters join me in reviewing BILLY ELLIOTT (2000), from writer Lee Hall, the film is directed by Stephen Daldry.  Despite the negative views and prejudices of those around him, the youngest son, Billy (Jamie Bell), of a working class English family finds himself irresistibly drawn to the practice of ballet.  The film clocks in at 1 h and 50 m, is rated R and we watched on the TCM app but can be found streaming on Peacock and to buy/rent on Prime Video. Please note there are SPOILERS in this review.
