It's a charming and shrewd take on the male ballerinas of the legendary Les Ballets Trockadero de Monte Carlo, part performance documentary and part portrait of the performers and the company.

This thoughtfully crafted, seamlessly edited film reveals the grit behind the glitter, and it makes the Trocks' humor as touching as it is pointed.

It's in the attention to these dancers that Rebels on Pointe does some of its most moving work, exploring how people hold a space for one another, and how ballet-if we allow it, or make it-can hold a space for us.

B-

The performances of the Trocks are worth the price of admission to "Rebels en Pointe."

Lovely documentary following contemporary members and history of the Trockadero, all men's ballet company. Showcases current members and the progress over time of gay men breaking gender stereotypes through ballet.
