The New York TimesThe New York Times

"(A) lacquered, lively sports drama."

The TelegraphThe Telegraph

CNNCNN

IndependentIndependent

Associated PressAssociated Press

"An anodyne, Disneyfied take on feminism."

The GuardianThe Guardian

"An inspiring story weighed down by stiff telling."

Hollywood ReporterHollywood Reporter

"Often feels too tidy, delivering its uplifting message without specificity or insight."

Screen DailyScreen Daily

"Adds up to a genuinely affecting, Seabiscuit-style underdog tale."

Total FilmTotal Film

"Even as Nathanson’s script veers into trite territory... Trudy’s rise against adversity inspires all the same."

The Washington PostThe Washington Post

"Rønning (invests) a workaday script with palpable care."

Financial TimesFinancial Times

The TimesThe Times

"Daisy Ridley shines in a quietly powerful role, adding moments of genuine comedy to the film."

ColliderCollider

"An enjoyable, if predictable, story of empowerment."

Chicago ReaderChicago Reader

"(Fails) to tell the audience anything about Trudy Ederle beyond her being a fiercely determined swimmer."
