Daisy Ridley stars as the accomplished swimmer who was born to immigrant parents in New York City in 1905. Through the steadfast of her older sister and ive trainers, she overcame adversity and the animosity of a patriarchal society to rise through the ranks of the Olympic swimming team and complete the staggering achievement – a 21-mile trek from to England.
The film is sincere; it’s not forcing us to feel something as the story unfolds. We do feel, though, thanks to the writing & the actors’ performances.
