‘Young Woman And The Sea’ Review: Daisy Ridley Inspires As First Woman To Swim English Channel In Disney’s Splendid Biopic

A review of 'Young Woman And The Sea' with Daisy Ridley in inspiring Disney Biopic of Trudy Ederle, first woman to ever swin the English Channel

Now, thanks to the efforts of director Joachim Ronning and mega-producer Jerry Bruckheimer ‘s clout and dedication, the studio has an echo of its past with Young Woman And The Sea, the true biopic and inspiring saga of Trudy Ederle. Cobham-Hervey is excellent as well, and the parents are nicely played by Kim Bodnia as their dad, Henry, a dedicated German-born butcher who feared for his daughter but then became a #1 fan, and especially by Hain, superb as the wise and determined mother, Gertrude, with a mind of her own and the will to do what is best for her family. Cast: Daisy Ridley, Tilda Cobham-Hervey, Stephen Graham, Kim Bodnia, Jeanette Hain, Christopher Eccleston, Glenn Fleshler, Sian Clifford, Olive Abercrombie
