"A ballerina is such an icon of fragility, that perfect white tutu. And then this movie just subverts that."
"I was like, 'I just want to understand how mad this is. How bonkers is it?' And they were like, 'Our bodies are our armor.'"
Pretty Lethal is an action thriller featuring a troupe of ballerinas who find themselves in a dangerous situation after their bus breaks down. They take refuge in a manor run by a mob boss, Devora Kasimer. After a brutal murder of their coach, the ballerinas, instead of being victims, turn the tables on the henchmen using their dance skills and hidden weapons. The film challenges traditional notions of ballerinas as fragile figures, showcasing their strength and resilience in a violent confrontation.
