Daisy Ridley's Predictable Yet Inspirational Sports Biopic Has Plenty Of Heart

Mon, September 30 2024

Based on a true story, the feature film tells the courageous journey of a young American woman's fight to swim across the English Channel in 1926. Starring Daisy Ridley, the film is streaming on Disney+ Hotstar.

Young Woman and the Sea is a typical sports drama, like the ones that were made often in Hollywood two to three decades ago. The period drama, directed by Joachim Rønning, follows the real-life story of Trudy Ederle, a young American who set some extraordinary records and inspired a whole generation of women after her.
