Synopsis

It has been 30 years since Title IX legislation granted women equal playing time, but the male-dominated world of sports journalism has yet to catch up with the law. Coverage of women's sport lags far behind men's, and focuses on female athletes' femininity and sexuality over their achievements on the court and field. While female athleticism challenges gender norms, women athletes continue to be depicted in traditional roles that reaffirm their femininity - as wives and mothers or sex objects. By comparison, male athletes are framed according to heroic masculine ideals that honor courage, strength, and endurance.

Reviews

IslandGuru Who payed the critics
Chirphymium It's entirely possible that sending the audience out feeling lousy was intentional
Neive Bellamy Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.
Celia A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.
