Billy Elliot Reviews
Washington Post
Michael O'Sullivan
There's actually a lot going on in this little movie, and first-time feature director Stephen Daldry ... handles all of it deftly.
ReelViews
James Berardinelli
Neither revolutionary in its approach or subject matter nor seamless in its storytelling, Billy Elliot nevertheless manages to sketch the lives of characters we come to care about.
Common Sense Media
Nell Minow
Terrific story of young ballet dancer has strong language.
New York Times
A.O. Scott
Real and consequential.
Washington Post
Stephen Hunter
It demands love, which is the best way not to get it.
Fort Worth Star-Telegram/DFW.com
Christopher Kelly
Turns out to be that rare melodrama that earns both its laughter and its tears.
San Jose Mercury News
Glenn Lovell
A bit of working-class malarkey so unrelentingly sweet, so determinedly dotty, it makes the teeth ache.
San Francisco Examiner
Wesley Morris
Wildly invigorating.
Newsday
Gene Seymour
Its dry humor, earthy performances and distinctive take on the clash between art and life help it earn every tear and cheer.
Denver Post
Steven Rosen
An indelible portrait of its time and place. And you can dance to it.
Orlando Sentinel
Jay Boyar
This movie does have a certain undeniable charm.
Detroit Free Press
Terry Lawson
It may be that the most fierce performance of the year comes from Jamie Bell.
Associated Press
Matt Wolf
The arc of its story may be as old as the hills, but Daldry and his amazing young star, Jamie Bell, make every moist-eyed moment seem utterly, vitally new.
Film.com
Peter Brunette
Billy Elliot is a feel-good movie that you don't have to feel bad about feeling good about.
Village Voice
Leslie Camhi
By setting this intimate conflict against a wider social drama, Daldry makes his portrait of a dancer all the more compelling.
Mr. Showbiz
Kevin Maynard
Movies that are labeled 'feel-good' often sound as inviting as a Sally Field Oscar acceptance speech, but Billy Elliot, a U.K. import, comes by its sentiment honestly.
Chicago Tribune
Mark Caro
The movie brims with visual wit.
Houston Chronicle
Even if the story is sometimes too sweet to be true, we go out of the theater feeling good.
