Nadia, Butterfly

Pro swimmers and proactors and ditto amaterur swimming actors and pro swimming amateur actors, well this was a mess of a review, buts a film about the hgardships of finalizing a careere, the conflicts of going back to real life, after being soothed and cared for for years in the pro swimming level of the world the main do have an eminent fly swim, and i fall pretty quikgly back into a role i had some years ago coaching swimmers at a local club, a club that has got a swimmer that shall take part in the tokyo olympics this summer.

Its a slowpaced, more of a wishing will product than its fictionally made by a nonswimming direction and production team. Its shows some of the hickups of retirement from sports, and thats value number one thinks the grumpy old man. Its short on story, and a dramadille flick that you could view, if close to the sport.

If you are interested in swimming world, you can watch it. If not, forget it. It shows, in the fist part, young female swimmers who swim, talk, talk, without any meaning nor purpose. In France, or America movie industry, there has been films about sport and athletes, from the inside, and there was more interesting than this. There was drama, situations, character study, really something. Here, nothing at all. This is not a documentary, nor a real film either.... But it provides an excellent second part, very moving, showing a youg female athlete, an elite athlete, who suddenly discovers the actual, real life, a life which she is not totally ready to encounter. Good directing, and an awesome score that throws you deep inside the true meaning of this film. Terrific ending.

I thought this film was going to be good as everyone keeps recommending it but it's literally horrible. The acting was bad and some scenes were far too long making you bored. I regret purchasing this film.

This movies leads no where. They are so many long shots that means nothing. I was very disappointed. The acting was so bad...

Drama itself is ok and straight forward. Facing retirement and her characters cause the unhappiness and depression on Nadie. I just empathize people around us have this kind of mental illness. This movie demonstrates an athlete story, another side.
