Review: YOUNG WOMAN AND THE SEA is One of the Best Films of The Year!
I finally had the opportunity to go out and watch Disney’s latest film Young Woman and the Sea, and it is a wonderful movie that tells an incredible and inspiring true story. I absolutely loved this movie and it’s easily one of the best films I’ve seen this year! It’s a must-watch for anyone who loves movies!
The film was directed by Joachim Rønning, who previously brought us films like Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales, Maleficent: Mistress of Evil, and the upcoming Tron: Ares, this film stands out as his best work to date. While Kon-Tiki has been my favorite film of his, Young Woman and the Sea surpasses it with its compelling and beautiful story and emotional depth.
The movie stars Daisy Ridley in what I believe is her best performance yet. Ridley portrays Trudy Ederle, a competitive swimmer who, in 1926, became the first woman to swim across the English Channel.
Ridley’s portrayal of Trudy is both powerful and complex, capturing the determination and resilience of a young woman who defied the odds stacked against her. I loved her in this role!
The film also features strong performances from Tilda Cobham-Hervey, Stephen Graham, Kim Bodnia, and more. Each actor brings their character to life, adding depth and richness to the story.
Set in the early 20th century, the film follows Trudy, born to immigrant parents in New York City in 1905. With the unwavering support of her older sister and dedicated trainers, she rises through the ranks of the Olympic swimming team.
Despite facing adversity and the constraints of a patriarchal society, Trudy’s journey culminates in a staggering 21-mile swim from France to England. It’s a gripping story of perseverance and triumph.
Watching this story unfold was a truly amazing movie-going experience. Seeing Trudy defy the world, fight against naysayers, and ultimately succeed was incredibly uplifting.
The film captures her grit and determination perfectly, and it left me feeling inspired and emotionally moved. This is the kind of story that reminds us of the power of the human spirit and the importance of never giving up.
Young Woman and the Sea is an incredible film that everyone needs to see. It will have audiences on the edge of their seats, rooting for the young heroine from start to finish. I loved the emotions it evoked and the sense of triumph it left me with. Don’t miss out on this incredible and special film, watch it in theaters!
We need more of these kinds of movies to get made, but people need to go out and watch them!
