Mao's Last Dancer


Mao's Last Dancer (2009)
The folks that devise the movie timetables seem to be very stuck in their ways here in Wellington. There are lots of 2pm shows and 8.30 sessions but very little imbetween. Being old now, I want to see something at 5 or 6pm. We were left therefore with only a couple of choices, and seeing how we both had friends who had seen this one, Mao's Last Dancer was the pick for us.
Basically a good old fashioned drama, it was sweet and not too taxing on the brain cells. A few old ladies were teary eyed in the audience, and there was much admiration of the lead characters physique.
