The Company

Here is the movie that Netflix told me I saw:

In this drama from Robert Altman, a young dancer (Neve Campbell) is focused on becoming a principal dancer with her ballet company, but finds it progressively more difficult to stick to the demanding schedule that's required. As the pressure mounts, she grows more preoccupied with other interests and with her boyfriend (James Franco), who vies for her time.

Here is the movie I saw:

Neve Campbell dances. She hooks up with a guy. More dancing. Intermittent scenes with other dancers where the dialog is hard to hear, but doesn't seem important. More dancing. Non-ballet scenes. More dancing. Neve wears a balloon on her head. She hurts her shoulder. The end.

The dancing was beautiful, and the choreographer character was pretty hilarious, along with the costumes in the last ballet (there are monkeys), but I imagine that the person who had to write that blurb had to think pretty long and hard just to come up with that. Or maybe the scenes with the pressure mounting, the preoccupation with other interests and her boyfriend, and the difficulty sticking to the demanding schedule all ended up on the cutting room floor.
