Review of Navillera

Navillera (2021)
5/10
Too much of the old and not enough of the young
5 September 2021
Warning: Spoilers
Promising at first. An old man who wants to do ballet and a young dancer form an affecting friendship. The problem is there was too much about the old man's Alzheimer's and not enough about the young man's dancing. The focus should have been more on the dancer's career instead of illness. The obstacles like the young man's injury and family opposition for the old man felt cliched and forced. The back stories of each one and family history were interesting at first then were draggy. 12 episodes was too much. 10 would have sufficed.

Some good points. Expert blending of Song Kang and a body double dancer so that it looked like he really was dancing. He got into shape and practiced for the role and it shows.
