THRESHOLD is the story of Olympic gold medalist and most decorated American cross-country skier ever, Jessie Diggins, and the struggle behind her smile--a painful fight with an eating disorder at the peak of her career. This feature documentary is much more than a sports story; it's a visceral, human account of vulnerability, stigma, and recovery, unfolding in real time. Through unprecedented access to Jessie and those closest to her, the film offers an intimate look into the complexity of a disorder that often hides in plain sight yet remains tragically underrepresented in film and misunderstood in care.

"Threshold" is a complex and moving work. It is not a film for everyone, but it is a necessary one—a powerful reminder of the mind games that the pursuit of perfection can play on a person's psyche, [Full Review in Spanish] Go to Full Review Stephen Silver The SS Ben Hecht Mar 6
One thing I liked about it is that it doesn’t really look or feel like the numerous human-interest packages produced during the actual Olympic broadcast. Go to Full Review Alan French Sunshine State Cineplex Feb 23
7/10
For those who know the world of cross-country skiing, Threshold may be covering familiar ground in Diggins’ story. However, as someone unfamiliar, it was incredible to see the internal process of what it takes to compete at that level. Go to Full Review Alise Chaffins MacGuffin or Meaning (Substack) Feb 23

Briana M @Bri.onacracker 3d Very well filmed and used great story telling. I am grateful that films can be made on this topic without glamorizing the experience or focusing on weight. However, it paints this idea that as long as someone receives professional help, they can continue athletics and do so after minimal time away. This is not the case for the majority of people after treatment and even being able to access professional treatment is very privileged. I wish they gave Dr. Gaudiani more of a platform to discuss the medical seriousness of EDs and the complexities of recovering. She is brilliant and could have contributed much more to this film.

The visuals from far afield ski settings in Finland, Sweden, Italy, winter Minnesota are wonderfully filmed. Ms. Diggins appears to be the humblest, most gracious world class athlete I’ve ever seen on film, yet she achieves athletic greatness while battling an eating disorder. The contrast between strength and vulnerability in one person is almost impossible to believe, but the story is true and compelling. Congratulations to first time filmmakers Brinkema Brothers. I will root for Jessie Diggins forever as she moves beyond skiing. See more Read all reviews
