    Phenomenal movie. Just a great story, with an inspiring message, about a REAL person. I would love to see more movies like this made that I can take my kids to see.

    Very inspiring story of this young woman who pushed back against the Patriarchal society to fulfill her dream. Very Disney-esk, but pulled off wonderfully.

    The true story was good enough. I wish they stuck to it.

    Beyond inspirational! Great true story about a woman who braved the English Channel! Highly recommend.

    With its odd title and the fact this was a Disney film of the present age, about women of a past age, made me feel edgy that it might fail at its job. I was wrong. This is superior modern moviemaking thanks to professional direction by Joachim Roning (Kon-Tiki ’12), a thoughtful screenplay (Jeff Nathanson) and a cast of very well chosen players all working hard to bring this time proven story to vivid life. Added to these pluses are powerful images from cinematographer Oscar Faura –making us feel we are in the water with her. A noteworthy, powerful score by Award winner Amelia Warner, adds to our personal involvement. There’s much to enjoy in this inspirational historical sports achievement drama, based on the life of Chanel Swimming sensation Gertrude Ederle, the first woman to swim the English Channel in 1926. Some liberties are taken (rather unnecessarily) but enough of the truth remains to make this a well worthwhile cinematic experience. Disney might have been wiser to give this wider Cinema exposure, which may have been their loss.
