I managed to catch Young Woman and the Sea during its cinema run and I have to say I thought it was a great film. Daisy Ridley was excellent as Trudy Ederle and really proved herself as a first rate actress in this film. The film itself felt like a rarity in today's landscape of overly CGI-d superheroes and sci-fis. This was a good old fashioned story, well told with great actors, nice cinematography and a strong script. That being said, I have to say that the British equivalent, an indie titled, Vindication Swim, was the better of the two Channel swimming films released this year. That one takes place a year after Trudy's swim and is based on the first British woman to swim the Channel, Mercedes Gleitze. I felt the swimming sequences were far more varied and visually spectacular in what I assume was a much lower budget film than this outing by Disney. Likewise I feel that story had more to it in terms of the struggle faced by its protagonist (interestingly both women are of German heritage and a good deal of the story is about them proving themselves to being American and British respectively). That being said Young Woman the and Sea is by no means a bad film. Far from it, it is actually excellent, especially in the rousing climactic sequence. I really do hope Disney continues to make films like this one.
