Summary: 5 Stars
This is a wonderful movie. I saw this on TV when I was little and loved it especially since I love to watch gymnastics so much. This is a true story about Nadia Comaneci played by Leslie Weiner (her only movie feature) and her life in Romania, to the rise to stardom in the Olympics. She went from playing in her back yard to working for hours practicing gymnastics. From being a sound person, to one living on the edge. This is a wonderful movie about pledging your live to one thing only, even if it means leaving everyone and everything you ever knew, to do just one thing, gymnastics. What a life this child had, the suffering, the committed time spent practicing, and the competition with other gymnists. This is a wonderful made for TV movie that can be watched by people of all ages.DVD Review: Still love it after all these years!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
I haven't seen this movie in probably more than 20 years, but I still love it!! Great story and highly recommend!!
Description of Nadia (True Stories Collection TV Movie)
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).
The first gymnast to ever score a perfect 10 at the Olympics was Nadia Comaneci. From a small town in Romania, Nadia (Leslie Weiner, in her only feature film role) rose to international stardom. Under the coaching guidance of Bela Karoli, she pushed herself with the will of a champion. This movie does a wonderful job of showing how hard gymnasts must work as well as showing how much they must give up in their personal lives in order to achieve success. After winning three gold medals at the 1976 Olympics, her life spins out of control when Bela is removed as her coach. For the first time in her life she is on her own, she is the object of jealousy from her teammates, and her weight is out of control. She seeks out her former coach and asks for his help. Together they put Nadia back on the winning track. A family film with a lot to offer, Nadia shows in a credible way the highs and lows of celebrity. The gymnastics portions are terrific. A must if there's a budding gymnast or gymnastic enthusiast in your home. Made in 1984 for television. (Ages 5 to adult) --Peggy Maltby-Etra
