'Young Woman and the Sea' effectively captures the essence of vintage sports films.
Sure thing!
While the title might seem like it was chosen by a lazy marketing team (despite the connection to Ernest Hemingway), it actually comes from the book "Young Woman and the Sea: How Trudy Ederle Conquered the English Channel and Inspired the World". This book is the basis for the movie in question.
The film originally planned to premiere on Disney+, but producer Jerry Bruckheimer felt that it had potential in the theatrical world, so it eventually made its way to the silver screen. However, its fate in this crowded industry is still unclear.
Now, "Young Woman" is brimming with old-fashioned charm, as it tells a tale of human spirit and strength. It's reminiscent of classic sports films like "Nyad" and "The Boys in the Boat".
Daisy Ridley has been busy with smaller projects since her "Star Wars" gig, but this one highlights her likeable nature like no other. Trudy, a German immigrant's daughter, overcame childhood measles and traditional expectations to become an Olympic-caliber swimmer. A few years later, she took on the challenge of swimming the 21-mile English Channel.
Ederle faced obstacles both in and out of the water. In the latter case, she dealt with blatant sexism, which was opposed by her mother (Jeanette Hain), sister (Tilda Cobham-Hervey from "I Am Woman"), and coach (Sian Clifford). Plus, there was another swimmer (Stephen Graham) who saw her determination and potential.
Both director Joachim Rønning ("Maleficent: Mistress of Evil") and screenwriter Jeff Nathanson ("The Lion King") have worked for Disney. "Young Woman and the Sea" is reminiscent of live-action Disney movies from yesteryear, before the focus shifted to theatrical release windows.
The ending credits and old newsreel footage add a compelling touch to the narrative. The story feels even more relevant now, 100 years after Ederle's Olympic participation.
Whether you're watching it in a theater or streaming at home, "Young Woman and the Sea" is an example of the impact a well-told story can have. It's sure to lift your spirits.
"Young Woman and the Sea" hits US theaters on May 31th and is rated PG.
