Watched on the movie channel. Be warned this movie enacts statutory rape. The acting was decent but the plot and ending definitely could have been better. The whole time I was waiting for her to tell the trainer that she was pregnant with his baby and she was going to keep it. That would have made the ending better as she walked away because that would have been the end of his career.

Very arty, long shots of the girl's unhappy face, and from the start it was obvious this was going to be about sexual abuse. Seemed almost like it was going to be soft porn. I stopped watching after about half an hour, because it was so obvious what was going to happen, and the long "atmospheric" shots of the girl staring into space seemed artificial and self indulgent.

Uncomfortable watch, I struggled to process the movie as it happened. The ending doesn't let you feel like you have a resolution. But maybe everything is the feeling the story teller wants to leave you with, then it is a masterpiece.

Powerful performance, and intimate coming-ofage / abouse-in-sport film. Also predictable and not too exciting.

When a high-strung, emotionally abusive trainer inappropriately seduces a 15-year-old skiing prodigy, the aim of grooming an aspiring champion becomes unexpectedly complicated for the young athlete as she struggles to sort out her feelings and priorities. As a vehicle for addressing an important social issue (especially in the sports world), "Slalom" hits all the right notes (albeit somewhat predictably at times), and it conveys its message in a release with fine acting, excellent skiing footage and beautiful cinematography of the French Alps. However, the film begins running out of steam (and direction) in the final act, with "nuance" being euphemistically passed off as a lack of defined focus. Director Charlene Favier shows much promise as an emerging filmmaker in this debut narrative feature, though, based on this work, it's apparent some refinement is in order for future projects.

Revisits the real-life situation of male coaches grooming underage femal athletes within an alpine skiing framework; Abita and Renier are top notch

Good movie where some of the Rotten Tomatoes Critics rate 10 out of 10.

Awesome. Worth Watching
