Chalet Girl

Felicity Jones

Charming, formula film about a young working class woman who signs on to work the winter season at an exclusive Austrian resort home for richies. She is scorned at first but because of her overall excellence and skateboarding skills she learns snowboarding, becomes a champion in four months, is accepted and lives happily ever after.

I wanted to see this because of FJ and she doesn't disappoint: she easily commands the screen and proves as winning as she did in later roles.

The class issues which crowd the screen are dabbled with lightly (too lightly) but no one gets his hair mussed. Routine fantasy effort.
