Une seconde chance: Rivales

I must admit, I had low expectations of this film. Not that I didn't enjoy the first one ( A Second Chance), but it was of an obvious lower budget to the sequel and I didn't believe the story could go on... was I wrong.

I took my daughter to see this movie during its Hoyts release, we were lucky enough to meet the cast including Stella Shute, who plays Tess, and Emily Morris, who makes her return as Maddy.

The storyline intrigued me from the very beginning. I don't want to giveaway any spoilers because this is a film you must encourage young girls to watch for themselves. A great, fulfilling film packed full of topical issues.

The one thing that wasn't quite clear to me is that Maddy start of the film with an injury, hence her travels - this will make sense when you watch.

A HUGE credit to Emily, and the rest of the cast. I highly recommend this film to anyone with young children.

I really enjoyed this film,with my grandchildren. What impressed me in particular,was the intent and handling of difficult issues of teens,rivalry and resolution. The humane and positive resolution within this competitive environment...teen rivalry...was done thoughtfully. Well done Cast,Crew...and Director Clay!

Great movie well done guys. The gymnasts were brilliant and the story line kept the kids engaged to till the end.

A Second Chance: Rivals! is a good film that ticks all the boxes for family films. Girls, aged seven to fourteen, will especially love it. The young actors do a great job. This a is a great sequel to A Second Chance.

It had a depth to it unlike any movie I have seen and really made me think about things
