The movie exaggerated some of the obstacles, or even made them up. Also, ignored her real coach and credited it to Charlotte Epstein. But, still it was a good, and enjoyable movie. The achievement itself is amazing and inspiring, and she deserves to be more known. A trivia fact: Another woman managed to swim the channel only 20 days after her in just over 50minutes. And she was a mother to boot!
I loved this film! For me American Flyers is a personal favourite. I saw it in the eighties and I was really into cycling at the time so it really resonated with me!
I watch it today. Inspirational story with fenimism trope but in not forced way. I watched it on Disney + but I would like to get in in my personal dvd collection.
Not sure who produce this movie - but Ride like a Girl is a true and fun sports family movie. Also Coda is another feel good movie that won an Oscar over all the Drama dark movies
Just watched it last night on Disney Plus. What an amazing film. And your review of it was spot on i agreed with everything you said. This is a gem of a movie 4.5/5
If its any help I sat for two hours completely wrapped up in this movie.I am very critical(comes with age maybe)but this just took me on a wonderful ride...one of the best of the decade for me.
Not a big fan of sports movies (or Ridley, eh), but a few come to mind: Cool Runnings, for sure, although that's more of a comedy; first couple that always come to mind: Without Limits and American Flyers.
@@spandel100 Not for Star Wars she wasn't! Not blaming her for what DEIsney has done to my favourite childhood (and adult) franchise, but she was definitely a large part of the problem. I guess any other female lead would have been no better in the end, but she took the job, so here we are, at the Acoshyte end of the galaxy, more's the pity...
The hyperbolic misogyny became somewhat tedious but otherwise it was enjoyable. It's unfortunate that the career dreams of female swimmers are still being crushed by misogyny albeit in a new and sinister form.
Looked interesting until I saw that it was Disney. Disney has no credibility and I do not expect an accurate telling of history. I'm sure she swam it in world record time with enough energy left over to make her girlfriend a five-star vegan supper.
I just watched last night. Sweet and exciting family movie. Daisy Ridley shines
Bro you got such good production, it hurts seeing you so underrated.
He'll blow up I gaurentee it! Watched Darren van dam channel blow up....
Just like the movie.
Just saw this movie and it was super good. A+. Best movie I've seen since Maverick Top Gun.
glad to hear it's good this was one of my most anticipated of the summer
It's great. One the best movies I have seen in a long time.

It's been a long while since I've been excited by a Disney original.

Is it bad that "inspiring and uplifting" instantly made me think oh god boring? But I might check it out based on your review.
Yes? Lol I’ve never heard anyone associate inspiring with boring
Yeah, it is

@@spandel100 I meant "Yes, it is bad you think it". But I guess there might be something wrong with you
On my list Chris! 🛋 🛋 🛋 🛋 1/2

You don't like Ridley?She made the movie for me.She is extremely attractive and charismatic.

There was nothing tedious about this movie.Maybe go and watch it in Dolby Vision on a big screen TV with a proper sound system.
Just watched her starring in Marsh Kings Daughter. Nothing memorable.
Yep that movie was dud i didnt like that much either
Nice. Hadn’t heard of this one.
Cool
I want to know fact vs Fiction of this movie. B+
Who stole our Bad Disney?
Yes,the wokster company took a break for this one.
'the boys in the boat' is the most recent i can think of
That was a boring and cheap production movie compared to this; even the characters in that film were unlikable ASF!!!
This is way better the the boys in the boat

Ah yes, that good ol' idiotic internet toxicity
I watched it today. It isn't 100 accurate but.... It really good movie.
Ah yes, Leftist culture sucking the good out of everything.
I thought the same about the lame woke Disney company....this was a big,and I mean BIG,surprise.
