I saw #YoungWomanAndTheSea yesterday, a film based on the true story of Gertrude "Trudy" Ederle, the first woman to swim across the English Channel, in 1926.
Such a terrific movie, very well done, great job by #DaisyRidley and the rest of the ensemble cast, even when they're playing characters you'd like to toss into the ocean. /1
I was at an early access screening at #AMCTheatres , in support of #USASwimming . I was surprised to see quite a number of younger children there, between the ages of maybe 7 and 12, to the point where I wondered whether I was in the wrong theatre.
Well, my preconceived notions clearly showed, because the kids were quiet throughout the whole movie. They were absolutely engaged. Maybe they were swimmers themselves or had siblings that were? /2
