| User ReviewBeverley MMy friends and I went to see this movie and it completely pulled us in. Especially because we knew it was real. We cried so hard we couldn't breathe. I will never forget our friend's mom telling us afterwards (as we tried to dry our eyes to leave) that it was okay, it was that type of movie. I think its a must-see movie, even now. |
| User ReviewPrivate UGreat movie and out of print. True story of athlete, Jill Kinmont (olympic skiing contender). Also reminds me of my childhood--one of the first movies I saw in the theatre. |

| User ReviewJulia LI've seen parts of the sequel to this on TV, but as usual, the sequel doesn't compare to the original. This movie is bittersweet and a must see for anyone. |
