Maiden

The Tomato review says it all. Brilliant.

Brilliant lesson for anyone who tells you that you cannot achieve your goals and aspirations

One of the best. Entralling.

This is a fantastic documentary about an all female crew sailing around the world in a sailing competition. Their obstacles were sexism AND nature and boy did they ever rise to the occasion. Great interviews with many of the intrepid sailors in this film (and one of the fossilized sexist journalists who covered the event). Do not miss this if you like Feminism or adventure.

Hugely enjoyable and insightful film into the ground breaking Maiden crew and skipper. You definitely don't need to be a sailing fan to appreciate the heroic achievements of the first all female crew or to be absorbed by the footage of racing in the most inhospitable environment of the Souther Ocean and the immense challenges that presented. Even though you likely know the outcome the film is gripping and exciting all the way through.

Phenomenal documentary, inspiring and touching.

One of the greatest films I've ever seen. Maiden manages to bring out the fullness of an incredible story, it's a ride-along with the crew. I felt all the emotional highs and lows as well as the exposure to the beauty and danger that comes with being at sea amid one of the greatest races in the world.

This is one of the most uplifting movies I have ever seen.

If there was to be only one movie to answer a question of an alien fife form wondering "what the hell humans are all about?" - that would be it! A wonderfully crafted, true, inspirational and emotional story that makes me proud of being a human being. A masterpiece!

A movie to enjoy even if you are not into sailing. It is a bit like Apollo 13: you already know the ending, but it still feels like a surprise. A really feel good movie that shows that you can win without winning.
