Maiden (2018)
10/10
An emotional roller coaster.
15 March 2019
One of the best sporting documentaries ever made, you are with the all female crew (even if you are male) all the way. Through the all the lows and all the highs. The original footage makes it totally authentic. There is excitement, humour and pathos. There are no dull moments or flat spots, the film just grips you from start to finish. You don't have to like sailing or documentaries to love this movie.

The worst film I have seen in the last 15 years.

Juliette Binoche is mesmerising to look at, but that is the only redeeming feature of one of the most boring and inane movies ever made. The only reason I stayed until almost the end was that my partner had fallen asleep early in the movie and I didn't want to wake her up. Gérard Depardieu droning on at the end was the final straw and fortunately my partner woke up watched him for 2 minutes and said "let's leave". In conclusion, that was 1.5 hours of my life that I will never get back.
