Ballet Shoes

[Gunnhildur Reynisdóttir]

Hello everybody!
I am curious if anybody on this list has yet seen the TV film "Ballet Shoes"
starring Emma Watson and Richard Griffiths? I was going to write this mail a
long time ago, but never got around to it. But anyway, last Easter (Holy
Thursday to be exact) this film was shown on TV in my country (Reykjavík,
Iceland). I actually quite liked it! I had never heard of this book before
(before I heard that Emma was going to be in it), but I'm familiar with the 
Gemma" series by the same author, Noel Streatfeild (those have been
translated into my language).
Like I said, this was a very cute and fun film, and the actors were all very
good. Emma did her role very well. I have to admit that I thought of
Hermione sometimes, but I wasn't familiar with the book before, so I'm not
sure if her character (Pauline) is supposed to be like that or not. But I
still liked her (Emma), and I think she is slowly growing as an actress. In
a couple of scenes she was supposed to "act badly", and I think she did that
very well (we can see the difference clearly). - I also loved Griffiths'
character, the dark-haired cabaret dancer (Toby I think she was called), and
the Russian ballet teacher (what a character, hehe).
Anyway, this was quite a cute family film. Suits all ages. :)
