Shining star Audrey Hepburn's young life was marked by trauma and loss during World War II. As a teen liberated from the oppression of war, she was a talented wanna be ballet dancer who came to her training in Amsterdam too late to be skilled enough to be a prima ballerina. She went on to become an exhuberant, beloved movie star, creative fashion icon, devoted UNICEF humanitarian, and doting mother that stepped out of a magnificent film career at it's height to stay home and care for her son.
Audrey is a gushing portrait about the joys and sadness, loves and losses, glory and challenges of Heburn's life. There is an element throughout the film of three ballet dancers in various stages of their lives pirouetteing around to punctuate the narrative, which I found odd, but nevertheless, the film is wonderful to watch because of Audrey.
Her family members, among others, are interviewed. Having been abandoned as a child by her father, whom she cherished, Audrey struggled to find true love and acceptance throughout her life. Several of her husbands hurt and betrayed her, and she was hounded by gossip when she lived in Rome.
Through it all Audrey remained true to her radiant integrity, which for me sums up her loveliness.
