Overall, very good comic-of-age story

An interesting movie. A strange coming of age story about an athlete who had trained all her life to become an Olympic style racer, but she gets an injury and is force to take a day off. She gets to live the life of a young girl for one day. This mostly initials a relationship with a guy she has a crush on.   The movie in itself was a good lesson on dedication and how it's good to take a break once in a while but never let distractions keep you from your goals. The  Filmmakers obsession with the athlete's body very strange but interesting, but I did love those awkward moments with the Athlete's attempts to be normal outside of training.

Runner's day off

This movie is about a long distance runner who takes a day off from her regular practice schedule due to strain. Movie's every scene is based on her interactions with other people/things. All other characters are one dimensional. I feel that even her character is not well developed. It seems like she has been practicing very rigorously and alone, which made her emotionally stunted. She is not able to react to social situations normally. Her communication skills are very poor to the level that it feels unrealistic.The usage of quotes throughout the movie is a fresh idea, but it is more suited for a high adrenaline movie. Also, the vocalization of quotes is not fluent. The camera work is sloppy which makes scenes slogy. If you are looking for a running movie, this is not the choice. But if you want an indie with a piece of life of a runner, then you can go for it.
