CGiii Comment

Whoever says that wrestling is not a little bit gay is in absolute denial.

So, to dispel this fact, one of the opening scenes depicts a gay man propositioning a young wrestler and that really sets the tone for this horrifically homophobic film.

All it is trying to do is to dispel the fact that wrestling is a little bit gay...that's a strange agenda to have when writing a film...

Thoroughly offensive - the dialogue is the epitome of what white, heterosexual morons write.

The(ir) Blurb...

Vision Quest is a coming of age movie in which high school wrestler Louden Swain decides he wants to be something more than an average high school athlete and sets his sights on a prize that many don't think he can win - he then sets out to reach his goal alone, without much support from his father or coach. His father rents a room to a young drifter, Carla. Swain falls in love with her and she helps him stay focused and prevents him from losing sight of his goals.
