Editorial Reviews

My Sergei is a romantic reverie delving deeply into the love and tragedy of Russian ice skaters Sergei Grinkov and Ekaterina Gordeeva. Paired in the early 1980s, Gordeeva and Grinkov matured into world and Olympic champions, and the working relationship blossomed into friendship, love, marriage, and parenthood. In November 1995, their fairy-tale life dissolved when Grinkov suffered sudden heart failure during a routine practice. Based on the bestselling book written by Gordeeva with E.M. Swift for Gordeeva and Grinkov's daughter Daria, this 90-minute film is extremely powerful. It is a rare and effective blend of narrated documentary, reenactment, extensive footage from the pair's skating career, and interviews with Gordeeva, family members, friends, and other famous ice skaters including Scott Hamilton, Viktor Petrenko, Kristi Yamaguchi, and Paul Wylie. --Tami Horiuchi

Summary: Russian Love Story on Ice
Comment: The first time I saw G&G and their amazing synchronicity on ice was at the 1988 Winter Olympics in Calgary. Gordeeva was only 16, Grinkov only 22, but their talent was tremendous. They hadn't paired up romantically yet but it was obvious they were a duo to be reckoned with. By the 1994 Winter Olympics in Norway they had married and had a daughter and won Gold again. Sadly, just a year later Grinkov died suddenly and left a widow of 24 alone with a toddler. Their love story is heartwarming and probably one of the most enduring real life tales in figure skating history. This video is a testament to twin flames on ice and off. This is the kind of love story others only dream about.

Summary: If you love a love story ...
Comment: If you are a G&G fan and you haven't seen this, it is a must see. If you have never heard of Gordeeva & Grinkov - watch it and you will fall in love with them. Based on Katia Gordeeva's book about her life with her late husband (also a must-read) it features extensive footage of the couple and interviews with Katia and only a few hyper-cheesy "flash back" re-enactments. It is more a docu-drama than a movie. Now, almost 10 years after Sergei's death, with Katia remarried and expanding her family, it is still a beautiful movie to watch and enjoy. And if you have never experienced G&G you are missing the greatest pair ever to take the ice. This movie is a good way to "get to know" them.

Summary: Such a lovely documentary
Comment: Ten years. Ten years since skating lost one of its most beloved skaters, Sergei Grinkov.

This is such a lovely, beautiful, marvelously put-together documentary. It is a must see for all skating fans, and even non-skating fans can watch this movie and enjoy it, because everyone can identify with Katia's sadness when Sergei, her one true love and her husband passes away.

This movie made me cry. Katia and Sergei's story is just so touching.

Sergei, you are remembered and loved.
