Why do I think it is not a good film? The story strikes me as too simple and uninteresting, the only element of surprise comes at the very end, but it feels like the journey to get there lasts an eternity. The acting could be much better, I doubt these are professional actors or else they are over-directed. The editing is probably the worst part, scenes are much too long, the film's length could be reduced by two thirds without leaving out any of the key elements of the story, this may also help downplaying some of the other negatives. She is a great dancer and very pretty, but I think placing so much emphasis on the dance scene is a mistake as it distracts from the core of the story; personally, I would cut the dance scene down to no more than 10-15 seconds I think re-editing this film would be a worthwhile effort.
