One of the skating world’s most fascinating characters, Johnny Weir has both dazzled and disappointed fans. This behind-the-scenes documentary only dazzles as it reveals the many sides of this complex and unusual skating icon. We’re sure you’ll give it a 10.

Johnny Weir is one of the most notable, controversial and beloved figure skaters in the sport today. His flamboyancy, good looks and exceptional talent have propelled him into the spotlight (he is one of the few skaters who can add modeling and fashion shows to their resumes!). But figure skating is a demanding sport, putting its participants on center stage for over six minutes between the Short and Long programs. The key to success is consistency and Johnny’s main obstacle is that he has gone from winning gold medals to placing eighth in a single season. In this entertaining documentary, filmmakers David Barba and James Pellerito follow Johnny from his late start in the skating world at age 12 through his difficult decision to leave his long-time coach and mentor Priscilla Hill. While his sexual orientation is not openly discussed, most viewers are likely to draw the same conclusion, inspired in part by the bathtub interview with Johnny and his “best friend” Paris Childers! -- Claire Kohler
