YOUNG WOMAN AND THE SEA – Amelia Warner
Original Review by Jonathan Broxton
Young Woman and the Sea is a biographical period sports drama directed by Joachim Rønning and written by Jeff Nathanson, based on the 2009 book of the same name by Glenn Stout. Produced by Jerry Bruckheimer for Disney, the film stars Daisy Ridley and tells the true story of Gertrude Ederle, an American competitive swimmer who, after winning a gold medal at the 1924 Olympic Games in Paris, attempted to become the first woman to swim across the English Channel. The film stars Tilda Cobham-Hervey, Stephen Graham, Kim Bodnia, Christopher Eccleston, and Glenn Fleshler in supporting roles, and has been received well by critics, many of whom favorably compared Ridley’s performance with the Oscar-nominated performance by Annette Bening in the similarly-themed Nyad last year.
