I don't think it's anything sensational, but there's no doubting 'Billy Elliot' tackles key issues and comes out with flying colours in that regard. Everything there makes you truly care for the titular character.
Billy is played by Jamie Bell, who gives a fantastic performance. Julie Walters is great too, portraying Sandra. Gary Lewis and Jamie Draven are also notable for their work here, even if their characters are a little too one-dimensional for the majority.
The plot is terrific and told in a superb way, with impressive cinematography. The only thing I'm not sold on is the dialogue, which is odd in parts; particularly with Billy and Debbie (Nicola Blackwell). I appreciate they don't patronise the children, but it's too far the other way with some of the speech; too forced to sound like an adult.
Nonetheless, it's a brilliant film and one you should definitely watch.
