Mjeteconer Just perfect...
ScoobyMint Disappointment for a huge fan!
TaryBiggBall It was OK. I don't see why everyone loves it so much. It wasn't very smart or deep or well-directed.
Monkeywess This is an astonishing documentary that will wring your heart while it bends your mind
p-73118 When i watched this movie i could not forget about Larry Nassar and USOC, USA Gymnastics, MSU, the cover up of his abuse of children for decades. When you see movie remember that it was 10, 100,1000 times harder for her to be abused by doctor of team, to be force to silence by U.S. Olympic Committee and U.S.A. Gymnastics Committee and move forward to goal to be best gymnast in the world.
superstyle-57655 This is such a beautiful movie with a fantastic story and just so inspiring. If you enjoy movies like Eddie the Eagle, Cool Runnings, Wild hearts can't be broken and just inspiring stories about people believing in a dream then this is definitely one to watch and what's amazing about this movie is how current it is. Compared to all the others. The cast are excellent and so likable...each and every one of them suited to their roles and I think this movie reflects talent on so many levels. Definitely watch this! One for all the family which doesn't happen enough! Watch it!
edwagreen Regina King gives a career defining performance as the resolute mother of 4, determined that her youngest daughter shall succeed as a gymnast.One weakness of the film was that it was unbelievable that the King character separated from her husband, a man she loved deeply because of his inability to obtain work. After appearing early in the film, he is never seen again.Other than that flaw, we have a film showing deprivation, setting goals, ready to quit, but ultimate triumph prevailing.S. Epaitha Merkerson appears as King's mother, the latter taking the family in after the split with her husband.The film also depicts kindness by the Iowan family who took Gabby in so that she could train under someone she deeply admired and trusted.The film shows that adversity may be conquered.
