The Cutting Edge description
As far as ice-skating movies go (or those that prominently feature the cold-bladed sport), this romantic movie is one of the best, thanks to utterly charming performances by underrated actors D.B. Sweeney and Moira Kelly. The couple play, respectively, a washed-up hockey player and a prima-donna skater who end up in doubles figure skating together at the Winter Olympics. Of course, the mismatched pair fall in love. In between, there's a lot of verbal sparring, talk of toe picks, and surprisingly skillful directing by Paul Michael Glaser (Kazaam, The Air Up There). Direction here is critical--unlike in Flashdance, where the dancing was done in the shadows, face and feet obviously shot separately--and The Cutting Edge credibly highlights the actors and their professional stand-ins. This is such a fun, sweet story that the facts the film takes liberties with--including the alacrity with which a hockey player takes to Olympic-level figure skating--are easily forgivable. --N.F.

The infection of passion binds the heart and frees a soul.

| I must confess this is one of my all time favorite films. My heart is drawn to romantic comedies, lives drawn to transformation and beauty. I experience all three connections every time I watch this story again and again. The story revolves around the sport of couples olympic skating as approached from to very unlikely directions. The story seemed quite plausible including us in the drive shared by our main characters and their step by step progress through ups and downs to the very exciting conclusion. The workouts were rigorous and the skating footage very powerful and thrilling.The romantic energy was electric and compelling as well as the ache of hearts moving foward and apart in the dance of fear and indecision. This movie feels like what we wish life was and, by the way, can be. Include this in your favorite story collection, today. |
