11/20
The respective storylines have plenty of human drama, and the friendship between the women is a strong theme, but the promise of a look inside the pressure-cooker world of elite sport is only partly fulfilled. Go to Full Review

Kalani M @KalaniM 3d This film is incredibly authentic. The female leads are all well rounded real characters who participate in their respective sports outside of the film at elite levels. Each character and story is given a believable script which reflects the Australian experience lending to the films realness. I love how Larkin shows not only the highs of elite athletes but sheds light on the dark side, including how at the end of many careers a person is left questioning, "who am I outside of this?". I hope Larkin continues to create in this space. This was a refreshing and engaging watch.

The lead performances felt natural, the pacing is deliberate, and the film succeeds by focusing on character development. See more Stav-Ritsa X @Stavix Dec 5 Great movie with such a unique plot. It gives a really interesting insight into the world of athletics and the lengths people go to to be the best. Also loved that they cast real female athletes for the main characters! See more Jacqueline K @LolaGypsy Dec 5 I really enjoyed the movie. The three girls had a strong bond and I liked the storyline. I wanted it to go on, as I was really invested in the characters. I thought Sylvia was very comedic and Yui came across as gentle, but strong. My favs were Annie and Caleb. It’s a shame that he didn’t get the girl in the end. I would love for this to be a series!
