Reviews
Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!
Strong and Moving!
The storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.
There are moments that feel comical, some horrific, and some downright inspiring but the tonal shifts hardly matter as the end results come to a film that's perfect for this time.
What a well made documentary this is. We are hearing stories of other athletes being motivated to succeed themselves after seeing this moving true story. Katie Bender and Leo Baker have done an incredible job following the path of Lydia Lassila who is a very determined yet lovable personality. We can't wait to see where this story goes because it is not over yet!
The Will to Fly is an outstanding documentary on a number of levels. It tells the struggle of Lydia Lassila to achieve perfection as an aerial skier and as a member of Australia's freestyle Olympic team. Lydia's perseverance is inspirational and her achievements, as a woman and as an athlete, are remarkable. The way the documentary is structured is equally remarkable: the story line, the buildup of tension, the background information, the interviews with other skiers all weave into a documentary that can stand next to any other; sporting or otherwise. Well done to Leo Baker and Katie Bender for showing just as much perseverance is Lydia Lassila. Everyone should see this movie; it is fascinating on so many levels and has much more to do with the struggle to achieve than simply with skiing.
