Alain E First of all I like the director. I loved the German Doctor which was understated given its theme, and also liked XXY. I think this movie is a complete misfire. In the first half the heroine other than some proclivity to sexual promiscuity appears overall balanced as she trains for the Olympic team in synchronized diving. Their coach is accused of sexual impropriety with a new swimmer but he is exonerated as his conduct is impeccable and the accusations appear to be generated by a loner mother. The moment this happens the coach starts fraternizing with the 14 year old in front of the team, then sleeps with her and then we are told that in the past he had also sexually abused the protagonist when she had the same age . They get selected for the Olympic Games in Athens and after our heroine sabotages the team at the final she walks alone in her swimsuit from the Olympic Stadium to the seaside. I happen to have a second home in Athens and the distance is about twenty miles that our protagonist completes in about twenty minutes without encountering a single moving vehicle in a city with about five million inhabitants. I agree abusing female athletes, especially underage, is wrong but a movie on the subject still has to make sense. The first half of the film is very good. The actress looks like a competitive diver. The total is unfortunately a fail.

Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 05/16/23 Full Review Daniel G Sincere portrayal of sexual abuse on the Mexican national diving squad. What an impactful and smart protest by the main protagonist! Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 04/15/23 Full Review Michael W 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 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 03/16/23 Full Review B N Well made with te right message with out being grotesque. I now understand the pressure of athletes and tv women to stay quiet . Without question even harder in a country like mexico. Excellent acting , kept me on the edge and very emotional. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/16/23 Full Review Read all reviews
