The Gymnast (2006)

The Gymnast: Directed by Ned Farr. With Dreya Weber, Addie Yungmee, David De Simone, Allison Mackie. Jane left gymnastics when an injury killed Olympics hope. Now 43, she gets a chance to perform a demanding “dance” in the air with Serena. The intimate act makes her forget her dead marriage.

“This film tackles the subjects of loss, personal struggle and transformation in such a smart, artful, sensitive, and visually stunning way that I was completely transported. It is a rare gem of a film in the way it honors beauty and women. Youu0026#39;ll have to see for yourself. Dreya Weber (Jane) masterfully portrays the subtleties of a remarkable if not somewhat broken personality, in a way that every woman will relate to. I found the honesty of the emotional interactions among characters to be very refreshing and profoundly engaging. There was nothing in this film that said to me u0026quot;low budgetu0026quot; as far as quality is concerned. Nothing. The fact that it is a low-budget film is a tribute to the filmu0026#39;s creators. The final sequence during the credits will also knock your socks off. It is a brilliant celebration of Janeu0026#39;s choice. Unexpected and inspiring.”
