DVD Reviews of Nadia
DVD Review: Touching yet Hysterical : A Warped, Enjoyable Nadia
Summary: 3 Stars
My brother and I recorded this off TV in the early '90s, and much of our childhood was peppered with bits of inspired dialog from this 'gem' of a movie. Granted, it isn't really a movie. In fact, it was initially aired as a multi-part miniseries. And time has not been kind to it.
Despite that, this remains the definitive Nadia film. Why? The performances, and the brisk, crisp direction. It has TV movie written all over it, and the second half of the film is horribly cast (the actress playing Nadia looks nothing like her, and doesn't know anything about gymnastics either. She barely manages to even pose right), but it is charming and refreshing in its' portrayal of the young Nadia and her best friend Theodora Unguriyanu.
The 'perfect 10' that Nadia scored at the Olympics is reduced to slo-mo editing here, and her performance at the Montreal Olympics looks stilted and way too dramatic. Also Bela Karolyi is portrayed as this sinister egotist. Whether or not this is true, I don't know - but it stuck out in this movie. However, there are many sweet and tender moments within this film that make it well worth a buy. I've watched it many times myself, though its been years that I last saw it - and would still highly recommend this lost treasure.
Description of Nadia
Olympic gymnast Nadia Comaneci is profiled in this heart-warming family film. Nadia began training competitively at the age of six, with the now world-famous coach, Bela Karolyi and his wife Marta. At fourteen, she became the first Olympic gymnast to score a perfect 10 and walked away with five gold medals, two silver medals and one bronze at the 1976 Olympics. The petite gymnast from Romania was now an overnight media sensation, inspiring a whole new generation of future Nadias. But, fame came with a high price. As Nadia grew into a young woman she struggled with isolation, weight gain that threatened her career and the fear of exceeding increasingly high standards.
Nadia captures the hard work and determination of a young girl driven to success. The film stars Oscar® nominee Carrie Snodgrass (Diary of A Mad Housewife), Talia Balsam (Without A Trace), two-time Emmy® nominee Conchata Ferrell and Johann Carlo (Quiz Show).
