Prepare to be bitterly disappointed.
The plot is what lets you down. Skating is not just about passion, it is about beauty, art, poetry. This movie seems to be saying: if your passion burns strong enough, its fire can melt the heart and soul of skating. That's exactly what happens - there is no longer any heart.
Is that really what we want to tell the world about skating?
