Mike P @RT09890132 Jul 6 Documentary about a serious issue has intense subject matter, (an allegedly predatory gymnastics coach), but it's also talky and slow moving, and relies too much on third party opinions, not gleaning enough firsthand witness testimony. Mildly recommended for sports fans who are really invested in this issue, but others might find it dull or distracting.

This film includes testimonies from multiple women describing the abuse they endured which I find meaningful and powerful as they are finally given a platform to share their experiences and call out the program for its disregard for their wellbeing. This film is a hard watch but a necessary one for all to see what these young girls went through while just trying to do the sport they loved. See more Brianna N @briwin Dec 7 I found Athlete A particularly meaningful because it really showed how deeply the victims and their families were affected and revealed just how much corruption was occurring in USA Gymnastics, and other organizations. It was shocking to see that even the biggest stars in the sport were victims of the same scandal, which made the story feel even more real. Beyond the subject matter, I thought the film was well-made with solid pacing, and an engaging and interesting narrative of the case. Overall, it’s a powerful and eye-opening documentary that altered my perspective on professional sports.

I found this documentary meaningful because as a fan of Team USA’s gymnastics team, I found it very surprising and unfortunate how all these cases were dealt with, prioritizing an organization's fame rather than their athlete's safety and wellbeing. Overall, I thought all these female athletes were so brave and resilient for dealing with all they went through and I think this toxic culture in the professional sports industry needs to be made more aware of.

This film shows the harsh reality of how poorly young gymnasts who compete at a high level can be treated, and is a super interesting watch.  See more Luke S @put3__ 05/24/2023 If you have the strength to watch this all the way through... I salute you... This made me so sad what has happened here. While nothing can be done to change the past, one can only look to the future and hope nothing like this will happen again. This documentary can only be described as a step in the right direction that is very difficult to watch yet I couldn't help but feel that it was important to do so. See more Read all reviews
