Adam Graham Detroit News The engaging "Olympic Dreams" plays like "Lost in Translation" at the Winter Games. Rated: B Feb 21, 2020 Full Review Sara Michelle Fetters MovieFreak.com Olympic Dreams is a strong, emotionally-pure indie drama that took my breath away. Rated: 3/4 Feb 15, 2020 Full Review Christy Lemire RogerEbert.com The story of how Olympic Dreams got made is more compelling than the movie itself. Rated: 2/4 Feb 14, 2020 Full Review Carla Hay Culture Mix There are no scenes revolving around intense athletic competitions. Instead, Olympic Dreams takes a close look at the internal battles of insecurities that can prevent people from pursuing what they really want in life. Jul 14, 2020 Full Review Joshua Brunsting The CriterionCast Gorgeously shot and led by two ace performances, Olympic Dreams is the type of adult romantic comedy that simply does not get produced these days. May 13, 2020 Full Review Rafaela Sales Ross Film Inquiry To navigate such a complex environment with a whole array of limitations and bureaucratic barriers is a complicated task, and Teicher manages to deliver a sweet tale of dreams and expectations. There is not much more than we can ask. May 4, 2020 Full Review Read all reviews

Audience Member I'm not a "movie critic"- but there seems to be a new kind of trend in movies today where the story mixes it up a bit, and we don't exactly see the ending we expect. Or maybe I think that because I've been around so long? I love the restraint, the absolutely different personalties, as well as the young girl being the more 'aggressive' so to speak... but we did not have to see them betray themselves. They remained the people that they were, and yet almost crossed the line. Maybe she did not have so much to risk, except her heart (which is everything), and he had to live with himself. Sorry to type so long, but such a great story, and so well told... This movie exceeded my expectations. There was great respect to human individuality in this movie. Also a great story. And a fantastic ending. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/21/23 Full Review Audience Member A gentle love story in the backdrop of Olympic Winter Games starring real life Olympian Alexi Pappas and Nick Kroll. The first feature ever shot on location in the Olympic Village. Also loved that the movie was written by the trio of Alexi Pappas, Jeremy Teicher, and Nick Kroll and also stars the popular and hunky real life free style skier Gus Kenworthy. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/21/23 Full Review Craig S A feel good movie that seemed more documentary than fiction. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/24/20 Full Review Audience Member An oddly paced quirky rom com with a few endearing and truthful moments. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/23/20 Full Review Audience Member Alexi Pappas makes this movie work, and the backdrop is fascinating. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/07/23 Full Review Audience Member An unusual love story that is rooted in even more unusual themes, yet it works. -Go Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/14/23 Full Review Read all reviews
