The Turning Point reviews

The Turning Point holds a 6.6/10 average from 71 TMDB ratings.

The year 1977 was very good for director Herbert Ross. Not only did Ross direct this film, which was nominated for eleven Academy Awards, but he also helmed "The Goodbye Girl," which received five nominations. Out of the twenty acting nominees that year, seven were from two of his films. If you love ballet, you will love "The Turning Point." If you have flashbacks to your little sister's bit part in "The Nutcracker"…

As young dancers, they were best friends and fierce rivals. Deedee left the stage for marriage and motherhood, while Emma would become an international ballet icon. But when Deedee's teenage daughter is invited to join Emma's dance company and begins an affair with a young Russian star, the two women are forced to confront the choices they've made, the resentments they've hidden and the emotional truths they must face at the turning point.
