Battle

It tells the story of a modern dancer, when her father went bankrupt, her life changes completely. Then she meets a hip-hop dancer who helps her discover who is she.

This is a Netflix original movie, and it's my first time watching a Norwegian film. It was a good experience.

The movie was great, I did love it, and especially the relationship between Mikael ans Amalie, hence it was a predictable one, but it was so passionate.

The acting was pretty good, the dancing was enjoyable.

Well, I know it's a typical romance-dance-teen movie, but I loved it anyways.

I do recommend it, you should give it a try!

I usually like films from Norway, but I'm having trouble getting through this one. About halfway done and debating whether to continue. Slow and plodding. Nothing new or anything that I'm connecting with. Too long for what it is.

I don't know how this has good reviews. As a dancer I can tell you the dancing is ridiculous and terrible. Not only that but NONE of the characters are likable, especially the main character. Save 2 hours of our life and watch something else.

Battle has its clichés but it works emotionally. The juxtaposition of social classes in Battle is built with the usual caricatures: the wealthy appear vain, jealous and competitive while the regular people seen warmhearted, social and empathetic.

Despite the simplifications, the main characters feel authentic and the story has a pleasant, slow and believable space. A lot of the story takes place within the characters.

The final dance scene is very emotionally captivating and a beautiful finale to an otherwise slowly-evolving movie.

It's just brilliant. It's a beautiful story told so well. So engaging and raw. No glitter and sparkle just real people in a real situation with a beautiful message of love and acceptance running through it. Just brilliant!
