CGiii Comment

It could have gone so much further!

It's a decent film with plenty of interesting content...but, too many musical interludes slow the film down to a snail's pace.

The(ir) Blurb...

Kate, a painter who hasn’t created new work in years, finds inspiration when she happens upon an adult ballet class and quickly becomes infatuated with her teacher, Laura. As their lives intertwine, Kate is shocked to discover a side of Laura she struggles to accept. Show Pony is about reconciling the hypocrisy of how we judge others’ forms of self exploration.
