This sports movie was great. Karla Souza, Hernan Mendoza, Deja Ebergenyi, and the rest of the cast did a great job in this movie. This true story about complex relationships on an Olympic Diving team during a scandal was dramatic, depressing, and sad. It's a really dark story about doing what is right no matter evil it is. If you're a Amazon Prime member, you should watch this movie sometime. It's worth watching.

Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars

The story is well written but leaves major gaps of opportunity. The patriarchy still wins and all of its inherent corruption. No we cannot change the real life story, but we can pick ones that actively hunt down the abusers in process rather than after the fact. The movie does depict a profoundly sad state of affairs both in sport and in life.

Extremely well done, authentic movie showcasing modern Mexican culture against a backdrop of the Olympics and child sexual abuse. Fantastic acting, directing, music and cinematography. A real jewel. I watched it on Amazon in Spanish and with Spanish subtitles to help me with the occasional vocabulary word. I have no interest in the subject matters yet found it compelling and interesting. Not for children due to graphic sexual scenes.
