First Position chronicles the lives of six young ballet students who
are all competing in the Youth America Grand Prix ballet competition
in New York City. The kids are as young as 9 years old and as
old as 19. Some of the competitors are boys, who it is revealed
often suffer teasing from their classmates at school if they reveal
that they are into ballet. Even at this young age, injuries are
common. One girl competes even though she is in severe pain.
Three stars.
This movie ranks as having little or no violence because there are
only three violent stories including only one reference to "on
screen violence". There is a story of a civil war where one girl's
parents are killed, there is a story of a teacher being mutilated
and there are on screen shots of one of the girls performing even
though it is revealed that she is in severe pain from injuries.
The previews include nonviolent previews for I Wish, Where Do We Go
Now, To Rome With Love and Brave.
