Stylish and tender, this romantic drama explores the developing relationship between an acrobatic young woman and the Asian-American woman who performs with her. The talented Jane Hawkins (Dreya Weber, Lovely & Amazing) was an impressive gymnast at the top of her game until a devastating injury ended her career. Now she pours the passion, strength and discipline that once fueled her sport into maintaining both a tedious job as a massage therapist and a loveless marriage. After running into her old instructor, Jane is invited to a new, secretive gig: aerial silk acrobatics similar to a Cirque Du Soleil performance. While she might have the strength, her co-star, the lovely Serena (Addie Yungmee), has the grace and style of a top-notch athlete. Each of them are illuminated by the presence of the other, but there are distractions. Jane’s is bothered by her lack of children while Serena is an out lesbian who tackles stereotypes with being an adopted Korean daughter of Jewish parents. As the stunning pair prepares to audition their act for a Las Vegas show, the gravitational pull between the two women becomes increasingly unavoidable... A visually compelling film that challenges notions of both ability and identity, The Gymnast is foremost a story about hope and taking the necessary risks to fully become yourself. – Emily Teel |
