"One of the 50 Coolest Websites...they simply tell it like it is" - TIME
Strictly Ballroom | 1993 | PG | - 2.1.0
Paul Mercurio and Tara Morice star in this Aussie import about a young man and his dream: to try new moves in the traditional ballroom dancing arena.
SEX/NUDITY 2 - Scantily clad female dancers abound, but all they show are navels and cleavage. A brief scene of a man and a woman in bed -- the man's naked chest is shown, while the woman is clothed. The man is lying partially on top of the woman, but sex is only obliquely suggested. A couple of kisses.
VIOLENCE/GORE 1 - A couple of shoving matches, but no one is seriously hurt.
LANGUAGE 0 - None.
DISCUSSION TOPICS - Deceit, drinking.
MESSAGE - Don't give up your dream. You can find love in unexpected places.
CAVEATS
Be aware that while we do our best to avoid spoilers it is impossible to disguise all details and some may reveal crucial plot elements.
We've gone through several editorial changes since we started covering films in 1992 and older reviews are not as complete & accurate as recent ones; we plan to revisit and correct older reviews as resources and time permits.
Our ratings and reviews are based on the theatrically-released versions of films; on video there are often Unrated, Special, Director's Cut or Extended versions, (usually accurately labelled but sometimes mislabeled) released that contain additional content, which we did not review.
