Yes, really, i just dunno why i'm reviewing this movie as it's not exactly MY type of a classic movie, especially when the main subject matter is all about dancing and ballet, which i do admire as a very important art ... (although i'd rather watch ice skating with classic dancing in it more!)
but i have to admit i kind of liked this movie overall ... wouldn't call it a masterpiece but can't refer to it as worthless either ... there is that long (and certainly boring for some people) full performance of a famous ballet piece in it, which is surely related to the movie's title and content, but makes the whole work look and feel like two pieces of separate works, each one of which could do without the other one after all, but well, then either of the two pieces would probably end up being short movies instead of a long one ...
if you're into ballet seriously, you'd certainly like this movie, especially the ballet performance parts ...
