Plot so thin, it passes unnoticed.

As somebody who had not heard any of this before, it became a curious phenomenon to sit and watch a film and slowly have the realities begin to click into place.

Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.

I have never actually seen the movie but by reading the summary already makes me believe there is fake contents.By stating it tells about her "suicide attempt" I assume they mean when she consumed soap/bleach.It gives you a wrong idea of Nadia's life.The "suicide attempt" was fake. It never happened. She did consume soap of some sort but it was by TOTAL accident. She was frustrated with constant supervision from coaches. And she was not paying total attention. She had drinking water in a cup next to the cup of soap or bleach.Any person has made a mistake of drinking from the wrong cup when two cups are next to each other. Especially if you are not paying attention.Nadia Comaneci is by far one of THE BEST gymnasts of all time. she did get the first perfect ten. Anyone who has enough lack of respect for her to believe ridiculous tabloid stories should not spend time talking about her or reading about her or making a movie about her life. I do not mean to offend this movie or its creators but Nadia Comaneci deserves much more respect than that. Anyone who has been a gymnast, is a gymnast,has ever been associated with gymnastics, or even read Nadia's autobiography would say the same.Since I have never actually seen the movie though, my assumption of the suicide attempt they talk about could be wrong. Even though Nadia never did attempt suicide(unless you consider gymnastics a suicide attempt)

I was 10 years old when I saw this movie for the first time. That was back in those days before cable TV, so the norm was to show each film only once. A reprise might come next year or so. But this little movie broke a record in my country: It was first aired on a Monday evening, and everybody was talking about it at school the next morning. Then we heard that due to viewers' positive phone calls to our local TV channel, they will be airing it again on Wednesday. So everybody saw it again two days later. You have to understand what was going on in the head of us children, addicted to sports as we were at that young age, thinking in the possibility of achieving world sport stardom even if you come from some obscure town somewhere in a little known country. Then, by the end of that week, that I remember as one of my major memories from fifth grade, there was once again a TV spot, almost a minute long, this time just showing a Nadia Comaneci's routine in slow motion, she literally flying, with a triumphant music theme in the background, and the announcer went like this: "This Sunday afternoon, for the first time in the history of Paraguayan TV, and due to overwhelming viewers' request, a movie will be aired for the third time in the same week". Still to these days, 24 years later, no other movie was ever aired again three times in the same week on a free air TV channel. That says it all!

Filmed just after Nadia dropped out of international spotlight and defected to the United States, this movie is a real classic for gymnastics fans. It is extremely difficult to find but occasionally turns up on television or eBay.The film follows Nadia from childhood through the 1980 Olympics, and along the way chronicles her battles with her coaches, depression, suicide, and the lack of a "normal" childhood. There is also some perspective on the changes taking place in the Romanian government, and of course some wonderful gymnastics routines. Highlights include actual footage of Nadia at the Montreal Olympics (when she got the first perfect 10) and also great performances by Marcia Frederick.

I really enjoyed the movie Nadia. I am 13 years old and have always wanted to be a gymnast. The movie Nadia really showed how hard and how much effort you had to put into gymnastics, and also how Nadia got to the top. It was a very informative and interesting movie
