Diane says: “A 15-year-old with promise is dropped off—abandoned?—by her mother at a ski school in the Alps. As the coach’s strict methods and humiliations motivate her to win, they develop a one-to-one relationship, working and intimate. The film has an unsurprising arc, but excellent perfs by Noée Abita and Jérémie Rennier. Cinematography is a highlight, with the harsh glare of snowy peaks contrasted with a teen’s vulnerable belly skin. 3 cats.”
