Why watch this film?

'The Bronze' is an independent comedy with a sharp sense of humor, the face of Sundance Festival, no wonder it was part of the 2016 edition selection. In the story, Melissa Rauch ('The Big Bang Theory') gives life to a frustrated former gymnast who needs to train a young athlete to achieve the dream she couldn't, winning a gold medal at the Olympics. The movie is quite interesting, it deals with how hard it is to deal with life's disappointments and how that can prevent us from opening up to new opportunities. The narrative has some very sharp jokes, which can offend those who are not prepared for productions with this tone, in the current context it might have been more problematic than when it was released. Rauch is completely detestable, she was perfect for the role. In addition to her, the cast has Haley Lu Richardson ('Unpregnant'), Sebastian Stan ('Captain America and the Winter Soldier'), Thomas Middleditch ('Silicon Valley') and Gary Cole ('Small Crimes'), all are great, especially Stan, as an unbearable coach as the protagonist.
