Diana Nyad sportoló 60 évesen elhatározza, valóra váltja élete nagy, közel lehetetlen álmát: átússza a Kuba és Florida közötti több mint 150 km-es távot a nyílt óceánon. (Netflix)

Szokványos filmes munka, de erős történettel és két tapasztalt színésznővel, Jodie Fosterrel és Annette Beninggel, akik teljes erőbedobással dolgoznak egy olyan filmen, amiben hisznek. Barátság és támogatás a síron túl, akarat és rendíthetetlen meggyőződés, ami megmozgatja a világot. A sztori szempontjából Oscar-paraméterekkel is rendelkezik, de a film valószínűleg el fog suhanni a tömegek figyelme mellett hasonlóan, mint tavaly a Howard kiváló Thirteen Lives című filmje. Örülök, hogy Jimmy Chin betör a nagyjátékfilmek területére.

I've come to realize that the biggest cinematic surprises often come from films you have zero expectations for — and sometimes, you've never even heard of. Nyad is exactly that kind of movie. The subject is fascinating, and I vaguely recall hearing about it in the news. The execution is spot-on in every way, especially when it comes to the acting. Annette Bening delivers an almost Oscar-worthy performance, Jodie Foster is equally impressive, and Rhys Ifans just needs to show up on screen to make me happy. Overall, this is a well-crafted American drama about the strength of the human spirit and pushing boundaries.

No one can tell me that Jimmy Chin and his wife didn't originally intend this as an episode for Edge of the Unkown. But then, when they were going through the documentary footage, they thought “hey, we already have an Oscar for documentary, how about trying fiction, it's hard to get our hands on more rewarding material?” A powerful inspirational story about the indomitable willfulness of a willful, very difficult to get along with retired woman (at one time a record breaker, then a legend of the commentariat) who refuses to accept that she belongs to the old guard. As much as one could fault the unnecessarily drawn-out runtime and, despite the topic and the unused "unsparingness", it is carried by the central duo of acting legends. And they enjoy their strong characters, and virtually every scene they do together (which is 90% of the film) can be cut for an "Oscar showreel" without slipping into overacting even for a moment. More interesting "because it happened" and "because of how it's acted" than "because of how good the movie is", but in the genre of award-winning biopics, it's unquestionably a cut above the rest.

The life story of Diana Nyad is practically unbelievable, and her book *Find a Way* (2015) naturally became a bestseller. So, when a film brings together names like Annette Bening and Jodie Foster, it can't go wrong—and the result truly delivers. If you're in the mood for an extraordinary sports drama about overcoming personal limits, this one is definitely worth watching.
