Watchable once

Watchable movie but I'd stick with The Wrestler, there are quite a few similarities in between the 2 movies, but the wrestler had a way better story, and better actors.

The 2 main characters are meant to be partners but most of the time they acted like room mates, the lady friend can disappear for the entire night to spend time with some weird guy, with no questions asked by her partner, but she gets ripped into for secretly eating a bar of chocolate.

Don't want to spoil the movie, and there's really not much happening, 30 minutes could have easily been cut from the runtime and would still have made a coherent story.

An unexpexted masterpiece
locskaliza3 February 2023
I didn't have much expectations before watching this movie. I am so glad my husband convinced me to watch it!

It turned out to be a deep, emotional drama showing us the inside struggle of the protagonist. Every gesture and sentence has a meaning. It shows how pressure and the desire to live up to her husband's expectation (who is also her coach) affects her everyday life. It is very different from other sport-related movies like Rocky. It is not an inspirational film about persistence and discipline. If you love unusual, deep psychological drama that makes you think, you should definitely watch it!

A 10 minute movie stretched out

Not much to review here, lots of fast forwarding through endless silly scenes with zero dialogue. Maybe fun for the artsy type folks but the simple story doesn't really do much for most people.

Girl lifts weights and competes with her room mate/boyfriend/training partner. Could have been cut down into a ten minute short movie with the same message and outcome. 1/10.
