Favier clearly spent a profound amount of time and energy giving this character study all the time and care it deserves, highlighting the ways abuse - at its most subtle and overt - can warp every aspect of your life.

Rating: 3.5/4 --
By telling a story we've all heard a million times before (and perhaps even experienced first-hand to some degree) plainly and bravely, Charlène Favier reaches something urgent and devastating with her feature debut.

[A]n engrossingly subjective account of ambivalence and abuse, with the entire narrative filtered through the anxious gaze of its star athlete...
Hollywood Reporter
The writer and director, Charlène Favier, had previous experience as a competitive skier, and she is attentive to the textures of mountainside sports and how abuse plays out in this setting.

New York Times
Coupled with tight skiing shots that emphasize the sport's emotional intensity, Favier creates an atmosphere of overwhelming isolation. It's icy and intense viewing.

The Stranger (Seattle, WA)
The film is too rich and too human for any kind of categorization. But for all its beauty, it's also quite an unsettling watch - a delicate, authentic look at the complicated ways in which abuse works.

Product Description:
Noée Abita, Jérémie Renier, and Marie Denarnaud star in director/co-writer Charlène Favier's directorial debut. This sports drama is about Lyz (Abita), a talented 15-year-old skier, as she sets her sights on the Olympics under the guidance of Fred (Renier), her demanding coach. As she begins to taste athletic glory, their coach-athlete relationship becomes fraught with sexual predation and an asymmetrical power dynamic.
