The American (2023)

It’s the true story of Joy Womack (Talia Ryder), an ambitious Texan who became the first American dancer accepted into Moscow’s prestigious Bolshoi Ballet Academy. Now a ballerina with the Paris Opera Ballet, Joy’s tenure in Russia was a harrowing experience, as she was pushed to the breaking point physically and mentally by a ruthless instructor (Diane Kruger), treated as an outsider, and regularly overlooked and even sabotaged when it came to auditioning for lead roles. But during one particular dressing down from Kruger’s tight-bunned Tatiana Volkova, we can’t help but wish Diane had undressed and shown off more than just her undercover nips, but the beautiful blonde’s pokies are still en pointe just the same!
