"The Turning Point" is a journey centered on critical life decisions entwined with the realm of ballet. It boasts remarkable performances by MacLaine and Bancroft, who deliver compelling portrayals of two middle-aged women wrestling with their life choices. The decision to cast genuine dancers lends breathtaking authenticity to the dance sequences. However, these acting novices found it challenging to match the charismatic presence of the film's seasoned stars.
