Iris Warriors (2022)
England, 1940: When bombs trap eight children in the cellar of their orphanage, their teacher, Miss Shaw, reads them a story. As the tale unfolds, they are magically transported to a timeless, mythical island, where they witness the story of Darkness and Light, and of how their union and their conflict produced the Iris Warriors, the seven colours of the rainbow which imbue the world with colour. As the candles burn low and bombs continue to fall around them, Darkness, like a black widow spider, seeks on the destruction of her colourful children. Miss Shaw and the orphans begin to fear that neither they nor the Iris Warriors will survive the encroaching darkness. An original dance story with an original score is a rarity in this day and age. Every year, the big companies recycle the same "Classics" (Swan Lake, Sleeping Beauty, The Nutcracker), afraid to try anything new in case it doesn't find an audience. Iris Warriors breaks out of that cycle, updating the genre by combining the beauty of dance with stunning visuals and breath-taking music. It's a unique, once-in-a-generation family film that ushers in a brand new day and genre for ballet.

    Misses the Mark.
    One can certainly see what the gist is but also the joining of a story to a performance doesn't really work in this instance.

    I'm left thinking that it should be one or the other, a story or a performance of dance.

    Its also hurried and rushed, so very matter of fact and scripted.
