I want all of you to remember that im an old grumpy man, but i liked the mood and moves of this dancing hip-hop style movie.i did like to dance myself ,and that made me last through the whole movie.
its about rich vs poor, west versus east(of the city), modern vs freestyle , posh vs trash and so on. as a former swimming coach i recon the worthyness of not going too ''special'' to meet the goals , rather use all the opportunities of physical workout from other sports or styles or activities to become a better and fitter performer of your speciality. loosen up may make you become the best
the lovestory, being drawn between the rich and the poor have been played out in thousands of film, on a low budget production like this its pretty good performed and directed, the editing are good, the filming couldve been more advanced especially if using fly over camera rigs or even a dronecam would have ignited more energy out of the dancing. also letting the cast speak their own language with subtitles are very nice. dont mess with language ,its a great part of the culture. the cast are surprisingly good, at international standard really.
i grew up with hip hop myself,and i liked to freestyle myself on the dance floor, though 80'ish style it was,but mygod i liked it and it made me even better as a competition swimmer , so go out and dans,dans,dans, till the battle is done.
i recomend this film for the good message and a well told lovestory vs people and vs dancing......

It tells the story of a modern dancer, when her father went bankrupt, her life changes completely. Then she meets a hip-hop dancer who helps her discover who is she.
This is a Netflix original movie, and it's my first time watching a Norwegian film. It was a good experience.
The movie was great, I did love it, and especially the relationship between Mikael ans Amalie, hence it was a predictable one, but it was so passionate.
The acting was pretty good, the dancing was enjoyable.
Well, I know it's a typical romance-dance-teen movie, but I loved it anyways.
I do recommend it, you should give it a try!

There are others dance movies that are better that this one, but it wasn't that bad. I didn't get bored. So, if you don't have anything better to watch, watch it. :)
For some people dancing is a battle. If it is ballet, movies have tought us that it most definitely is. Then again, you also have the rap battles or rather the dance battles to hip hop music. This is a decent effort to bring those two together and mix a love story in there too.
It may not be the best movie about dancing and the struggle people have with it, but the characters work and the movie has the suspension to hold this until the end. The music is really good and the choreography does the rest. If you don't mind that, you will have a decent movie in front of you

Battle has its clichés but it works emotionally. The juxtaposition of social classes in Battle is built with the usual caricatures: the wealthy appear vain, jealous and competitive while the regular people seen warmhearted, social and empathetic.
Despite the simplifications, the main characters feel authentic and the story has a pleasant, slow and believable space. A lot of the story takes place within the characters.
The final dance scene is very emotionally captivating and a beautiful finale to an otherwise slowly-evolving movie.
