A short film - just a television hour. The story is simplistic. The dialog is simplistic. The moral is simplistic. However, it does have three overriding assets.
First, it displays the art of Edgar Degas, which is qualification enough for most of us.
Second, even if the lesson it tries to teach isn't new, it does reach to the most glaring and possibly most tragic vulnerabilities of the human spirit: self-confidence, and our tendency to surrender to the cruelty of pretentious criticism. Anyone, young or old, who puts him or herself on the line chasing a dream, would not be wasting the hour it takes to view this film.
Finally, the movie has Alison Pill playing the key part of Marie. Her beauty, art, grace, and glowing spirit will reach to the depths of even the most guarded of hearts.
