Why it’s a Weeknight Watch

With almost no lasting buzz and soft box office, it's a mixed bag. Fine if it's on; don't plan your night around it.

Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.

Is it for you?

Who'll love it
If you count yourself among anyone who likes a story with a soundtrack worth keeping and people who love a true story told well, this one's for you. The music is woven into the story, not just laid on top. A good follow-up to Selena Gomez: My Mind & Me or Miss Americana.
The mood
Eye-opening.
The pace
Moves through the story clearly, at 29 min. Short enough for a weeknight.
What might put you off
Skip it if you want made-up drama tonight.

Students in their final year at the National Ballet School of Canada are seen learning the flamenco from Susana and Antonio Robledo, who come to the school every winter to conduct classes which are held after the day's regular schedule has ended.
