Free Skate Ratings & Reviews
Culture Mix
Carla Hay
Free Skate starts off slowly, but the movie's story unfolds in layers, so the last half of the movie is better than the first half. It's a drama about the dark side of competitive figure skating, with notable acting and screenwriting from Veera W. Vilo.
Film Inquiry
Jules Caldeira
If you're able to watch this film, please do. It's an engaging character-driven drama that skates the edge of being a thriller as it progresses, and this young woman's journey will keep your attention through to the end.
Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews
Dennis Schwartz
If you're a fan of figure skating, there's a good chance you liked the film better than I did.
Los Angeles Times
Noel Murray
The film is visually sharp and quietly absorbing, and Olenius and Vilo sensitively capture the isolation and self-doubt that can make an athlete's life so lonely.
TheArtsStl
Sarah Boslaugh
Free Skate is beautifully shot by Mikke Kaurio, and skating scenes involving the central character are cleverly framed to disguise the fact that Vilo was a world-class gymnast, not a skater...
Film Threat
Alan Ng
Roope Olenius and Veera W. Vilo present a blunt and wide-eyed story of a sport that should be about healthy competition and the joy of creating art.
About Boulder
Tim Brennan
Free Skate is thoughtful and brave filmmaking. It shows us an individual journey that spectators and athletes can surely relate to. This is an outstanding film.
Sunshine State Cineplex
Alan French
Vilo delivers a powerhouse performance. That alone makes Free Skate an early surprise of 2023.
