Synopsis
The stakes on the mat are high, but for these cheerleaders, the only thing more brutal than their workouts and more exceptional than their performances are the stories of adversity and triumph behind the athletes themselves.

lexi’s a bad bitch. periodt
Superbly shot and edited, and a very clear-eyed look at this sport that does a lot of good for people, but is far from perfect (and also dangerous as hell). I also really liked the epilogue, where you see where the characters wind up; it had all the melancholy of a great Christopher Guest movie with none of the jokes to make you feel better about the whole thing.
I pretty much enjoyed this from beginning to end — until I went online and discovered I was already in college before everyone in the show was born, so now I hate it.
Possibly one of the finest pieces of documentary filmmaking I’ve ever watched. Takes the struggles of a group of people you probably wouldn’t otherwise care about and it makes you give a crap.
The final shots in this movie couldn’t have been better done if they’d been in a narrative film. Just genius.
Sandra Bullock was great in this!
I liked this, and sometimes forgot that all the families likely voted for Trump
