Top Critics Reviews

fresh:
You yield to The Turning Point relucantly, knowing well that it is conning you -- with sentiment, with flamboyance, with sheer slickness.

rotten:

The Turning Point is one of the best films of its era.

fresh:
There's some beautiful dancing and a wealth of detail about the world of classical ballet.
