The Horse Dancer

I count this as a great movie. The characters grow and change. There is a kind and compassionate humanity throughout that is missing these days. Though it's set in the cell phone age, it beckons back to the decades gone by when girls and boys went to summer camp; they were plopped down in a set-apart place. And there the kids experienced the discipline of camp rules, schedules, and expectations. The songs are authentic. I am so sad to see the way law enforcement, courts, families, schools, etc., have become soulless. Every institution has grown cold. We hear "process" and nothing about cultivating the person and considering his unique situation. It's sad that in "real life" people are routinely disrespected and treated without any reference to the context of their lives. So this was a nice escape from our present sad reality.

I love gymnastic movies but this one did not transition very well. It goes from a gymnast to a horse vaulter and Miss Jessica lowkey drove me nuts. Camps are one thing but when you have counselors who are high strung it ruins everything. It brings the maturity level down tremendously.

Started out hopeful that this would be a nice evening feelgood movie but it was just lots of shouting and noise.. Fast forwarded but didn't still no good.

This movie is about a girl who is very disciplined and a high achiever, but lacks social skills, because she is too busy to make friends. I enjoyed this movie.

I really liked the character Lisa Gold. She was always upbeat and keep things positive. The scenery was great and it looks like a lovely place to get away. But that's where it stops.

The director was terrible, I think if they had a better one and a better writer too. The movie would have been so much more.

The other actresses were only kids/teens/young adults. So I'm sure they didn't have much practice in acting, but it was kind of forced. d
