The Edge

We need so many more Australian movies, just like this, touching and brilliant, an amazing and great move to watch. I would highly recommend it to everyone. Jane and her team were amazing from start to finish. Such an inspiring movie and the support of women is just what we need in this day and age....

The Edge is an incredible film that completely drew me in from start to finish. The regional setting is beautiful and adds so much depth and authenticity to the story - it's refreshing to see such a strong film made outside of the big city lens.

What stood out most was seeing women in sport take centre stage. It's powerful, raw, and inspiring to witness their stories unfold. At the same time, it's confronting to realise just how much women athletes and Paralympians go through behind the scenes.

That's exactly why this film is so important - it shines a light on their struggles and triumphs, and reminds us how vital it is to support these stories. The Edge isn't just a film, it's a call to back women and Paralympians in sport, and it's absolutely worth watching.

As an athlete myself, I can fully agree that this is an authentic portrayal of both athletes and the Aussie sports story! A wonderful watch and I cannot recommend it enough, to anybody who's ever been involved in sports, (track and field or otherwise), Australian stories, or is just a fan of a good feature film.

I used to be an athlete, and honestly I hadn't really considered how different the experience can be for women - beyond the obvious stuff like managing a period. The Edge opened my eyes. It shows, with real heart, the extra layers women navigate in sport: the scrutiny, the double standards, funding gaps, safety concerns, cultural expectations - things I'd never fully clocked. The performances are powerful, the regional setting is gorgeous, and the storytelling is honest without being preachy. I walked away with a deeper respect and understanding and I'm glad this film exists to help others get it too.

Honestly, The Edge blew me away. The storytelling feels real, raw, and properly grounded in the Aussie sporting world. You can tell the script was written with heart and lived experience, because every scene just rings true.

The three leads absolutely carry it - Jane Larkin, Lily Riley, and Mei Ichinose are all brilliant. They've each got their own style and story, but the way their performances bounce off each other is something special. It's not polished Hollywood fluff.

It's rare to see a film that nails both the emotional side of sport and the big picture stuff - identity, belonging, resilience - without overdoing it. This one gets the balance just right.

For an indie feature, it punches well above its weight. Do yourself a favour and watch it.
