A solid telling of a remarkable story. Foster was sensational in this for me. Benning seemed to nail the tough to handle main character here. Good crowdpleaser. Beautiful cinematography during dark night scenes as well. 6.5

Being and Foster do great acting going against their normal Hollywood typecasting. Impressive story, well told and amazing the characterization and make-up work on all actors.

This was a really remarkable story about two women, at an age when our culture tends to send them out to pasture, achieving the unachievable. I would love to see a sequel based on the friendship between Bonnie Stoll and Diana Nyad. They seem to have accomplished a great many interesting things in their lives that would make for a well-told story.

This is an excellent movie, based on a true story, about human greatness against all odds. The excellent performances by Bening and Foster convey the extraordinary nature of the performance. Just excellent.

Interesting story, well-adapted. The actresses are perfectly cast. Amazing what people can do when they put their minds to it!
