Do you ever stumble across a movie on Netflix or TV and wonder how you "HAVE NEVER SEEN THIS MOVIE?" I did that the other day with The Turning Point. TTP stars Anne Bancroft and Shirley MacLaine as Emma and DeeDee former ballet,dancing best friends in NYC as members of The American Ballet Company. Emma became a star and danced her entire life while DeeDee married, had babies and now owns a dance studio with her dancer husband {played by Tom Skerritt-who knew they were in a film together before Steel Magnolias..NOT ME} in Oklahoma City. The company visits Oklahoma City and DeeDee is reunited with her former dancing life. DeeDee's daughter Amelia {a prima ballerina} is invited to join the company so DeeDee goes with her to NYC and the story unfolds from there with past jealousies emerging, regrets resurfacing, and secrets coming out. All with many ballet interludes from the real American Ballet Company and Mikhail Baryshnikov.
I love, love ballet and all dance movies. The fashion really stuck out to me in this movie. The personality differences of Emma and DeeDee are expressed distinctly through their clothing choices. I love Emma's feminine grace and elegance that is expressed in her pale color choices and classic styles, and I love DeeDee's carefree cheery, mom-of-three trendy looks.
Cross top / River Island winter white skirt, $38 / Tony bianco, $83 / Rochas tote / Burberry watch / Witchery , $73
Sleeveless shirt, $23 / Jaeger silk pants, $225 / Dorothy Perkins navy espadrille / Marc by Marc Jacobs , $580 / Kenneth Jay Lane jewelry, $94 / ASOS sunglasses / Damir Doma
Acne georgette dress / Jimmy Choo glitter platform heels / Steve Madden high heel / Lanvin genuine leather handbag, $2,165 / Python handbag, $20 / Coach bangle bracelet / Wendy Mink gold jewelry
Such a great movie, with such great actresses. The ballet parts alone are worth a first time viewing, but the story line is interesting too. I might be watching this gem many more times in the future. So glad Netlix makes suggestions.
