If you loved The History Boys, try Center Stage
A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.
What they share
Both films are directed by Nicholas Hytner, and they both carry the bittersweet, tender mood tags, and they sit in Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to The History Boys, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What Center Stage is
Fame without the leg warmers. Twelve dance students converge at the American Ballet Academy, all chasing the same dream. Spotlights glare, bodies ache, and rivalries flare. A fizzy snapshot of striving in the late 1990s.
