The Gymnast (Exclusive to Amazon.co.uk) [DVD]

very good

If you like lgbt movies this is not bad. It was better made than most and plot worked. There was some realism in human relationships in here. Characters wasn’t always well explored as I would have liked them to be a bit one dimensional.

Rather obvious ending but none the worse for it.

this was very good

Oh Dreya, Dreya, Dreya! Who would have thought that a film about people hanging around in silk curtains could be so watchable. A little disappointing that the pool-sex scene is so coy but, hey-ho. This film made me join the gym again!

SOME RUBBISHED THIS FILM, BUT I FOUND IT VERY GOOD, WITH THE PRO-FIGHT-FEMALES HOLDING THERE OWN IN THE ACTING STAKES AND OBVIOUSLY UP FOR IT IN THE FIGHT ACTION. THE FACT THAT THE STORY [ALTHOUGH OLD HAT] HAD A START, AND MIDDLE{TO LET YOU KNOW WHY] AND A CLOSURE,[TO LET YOU SEE COMPROMISE CAN BE BETTER THAN REVENGE,] IT WAS A FILM I ENJOYED AND DID NOT FEEL THE NEED TO FAST FORWARD THE BORING BITS BECAUSE THERE WERNT ANY, LIKE SO MANY FILMS THAT PAD-OUT TO MAKE RUNNING TIME....C.J.

Good film but a bit frustrating as the plot didn't flow too well times, or maybe I just wasn't concentrating enough! I guess it just didn't live up to expectations or hype for me but worth a watch...

This is a wonderful artsy movie that takes an honest look at a newly formed lesbian relationship without all the drama and traditional 'hot and heavy' approach. The direction and artistry is beautiful, even down to the credits. If you ae a circus or gymnastics fan you will love this. My only issue was the format I was watching this on a large flatscreen but the film was a small 'box format'- which I really hated as the images of the aerial work really deserved to be full screen.
