Confidence

About This Movie

So, 'Confidence' from 2022 is an interesting watch in the family musical genre. Harper, the central character, makes a pretty hefty choice when she jumps ship to the Varsity Dance team, which really shakes up the dynamics with her former crew. You get this palpable tension as they face off against each other in a dance-off, showcasing not just their skills but also the deeper theme of loyalty versus ambition. The pacing has a nice flow, matching the upbeat musical numbers with those quieter moments of reflection. The choreography is fun, and while there’s not a lot of flashy CGI, the practical dance performances really stand out. It feels like a fresh take on the classic dance rivalry narrative, though it does tread familiar ground.
