About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a gentler, more “realistic” Cinderella-style romance with plenty of ballet and a quirky helper figure; Not for you if you dislike slow pacing or extended dance interludes like in Lili.
Pros: lovely ballet sequences; sweet romantic mood; memorable music | Cons: slow, talky pacing; uneven acting; long fantasy detours
