The Gymnast
The Gymnast is a film about hanging on and letting go. The film is directed by Ned Farr who is also Dreya Weber's husband.
A few things made me go totally gaga over the movie: The super strong and graceful Dreya Weber (as Jane) and Addie Yungmee (as Serena), the emotional complexity and possibility of falling in love with someone of the same sex, and of course, the mind blowing aerial acts by the Dreya and Addie. There are no stunt doubles, no wires, no digital effects. The awesome acts were all performed by the actors. Tears just rolled off my eyes as I watched the emotionally-charged aerial scene by the two women who discovered that they are in love with each other. Be warned: there are some nude scenes in the movie but it’s so tastefully done and everything about it is beautiful.
Three words: I LOVE IT!
