The most breathtaking aspect of this film was the stunning cinematography by Marco Fargnoli, whose name I immediately remembered from his work on "The Sleepy Time Gal", another largely overlooked independent film from a few years back. Here, Fargnoli captures the thrill and the magic of gymnastics and turns this particular type of gymnastics into something truly sensual and something truly engaging...On the whole, "The Gymnast" is a film that deserves to be discovered by larger audiences...I left the film with a sense of hope in that I had just watched a film about a woman who was, essentially, going through a mid-life crisis and found herself a way out of it. Normally, you either see that person commit suicide or do something drastic. As drastic as what Jane does might seem to some people, it seemed very calm and reflective to me. She handles herself throughout the film very admirably, and I applaud director Ned Farr's decision to do that. "The Gymnast" was a fine film, and though it had its share of flaws, it deserves you undivided attention.
