Ballerina 2025 Movie

[spoilers] There just wasn’t enough story here to make me care. The characters felt thin and underdeveloped. The film opens with the death of a parent we know nothing about, revolves around a daughter we barely get to know, and ends with the death of a sister whose relationship to the protagonist is never meaningfully explored. The writers seem to think these moments will land emotionally, but there’s no real foundation for them. The near-constant action is solid and expected in the John Wick universe—and there’s no shortage of explosions (possibly a record of grenades used in film)—but after two hours, I needed something more. The film needed stronger narrative depth and character work to balance the chaos. 3-2.5.
