Critics' reviews
"I can think of few better legacies to leave behind"
Arezou Amin: Collider
"'Young Woman and the Sea' is really, really, really quite good"
William Bibbiani: The Wrap
"The film leaves no room for doubt about what Trudy Ederle will accomplish, and thus creates virtually no dramatic tension in her inevitable rise to the top ranks of women's swimming (...) Rating: ★½ (out of 4)"
Derek Smith: Slant
"A triumphant, emotional sports movie"
Katie Walsh: Los Angeles Times
"The movie presents such a stirring true story, so efficiently told"
Brian Lowry: CNN
"This may not be quite the movie that Ederle deserves, but it's the one that we've got, and it's definitely a story worth telling (...) Rating: ★★½ (out of 4)"
Moira MacDonald: Seattle Times
"Daisy Ridley battles jellyfish and the patriarchy with equal pluck and aplomb (...) It doesn’t reinvent the genre in any way, but it keeps us engrossed for every strenuous stroke (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of 4)"
Christy Lemire: rogerebert.com
Daisy Ridley stars as the accomplished swimmer who was born to immigrant parents in New York City in 1905.
Through the steadfast support of her older sister and supportive trainers, she overcame adversity and the animosity of a patriarchal society to rise through the ranks of the Olympic swimming team and complete the staggering achievement – a 21-mile trek from France to England.
“Young Woman and the Sea,” which also stars Tilda Cobham-Hervey, Stephen Graham, Kim Bodnia, Christopher Eccleston, and Glenn Fleshler, is directed by Joachim Rønning and written by Jeff Nathanson, based on the book “Young Woman and the Sea: How Trudy Ederle Conquered the English Channel and Inspired the World” by Glenn Stout. The producers are Jerry Bruckheimer, Chad Oman, and Jeff Nathanson, with John G. Scotti, Daisy Ridley, and Joachim Rønning serving as executive producers.
