Finals

About This Movie

So, 'Finals' is a drama that really digs into the ups and downs of competitive sports, particularly cycling. It’s got this nice, intimate feel, thanks to the relationship between Alice and her father and coach. The pacing is deliberate, allowing you to really soak in Alice's struggles and triumphs. The atmosphere feels a bit heavy at times, capturing the weight of expectations and ambition. Performances are solid, especially from the leads, who embody the dedication and tension that comes with pursuing an Olympic dream. What stands out here is how it humanizes the sport, focusing less on the glamour and more on the grind. It’s refreshing, a different take on the sports genre, really.
