Bringing the wave of #MeToo revelations across from the media to the mountains, this strikingly subjective tale of a French high-performance skier abused by her coach bites like a chill wind in Courchevel.

It's effective drama but extremely difficult viewing, especially for viewers in a country that has been rocked by decades of sexual abuse scandals.

It's tough stuff, but worth it.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Apr 15, 2021

By telling a story we've all heard a million times before (and perhaps even experienced first-hand to some degree) plainly and bravely, Charlène Favier reaches something urgent and devastating with her feature debut.

"Slalom" has smart insights about our sports industrial complex, sexual misconduct within the system and the way teenagers are thrown into the fire and forced to fend for themselves.

| Original Score: A- | Apr 8, 2021

Favier keeps a laser focus on Lyz's subjective experience, with a frank and unflinching eye on the moments both euphoric and gut-wrenching.

Favier is smart on the mechanics of abuse, and the sobering inevitability of her heroine's downhill skid.

Memorable mostly for a finely-shaded and committed performance from relative newcomer Noée Abita.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Feb 12, 2021

At times, it can seem like a well-made 온라인카지노추천 dramatisation. But director Charlène Favier adds constant depth, unpicking the whole precarious dynamic of mentors and mentees.

What makes Slalom more than a mere movie of the week is how it remains, from start to finish, an engrossingly subjective account of ambivalence and abuse...
