Being and Foster do great acting going against their normal Hollywood typecasting. Impressive story, well told and amazing the characterization and make-up work on all actors.

A solid telling of a remarkable story. Foster was sensational in this for me. Benning seemed to nail the tough to handle main character here. Good crowdpleaser. Beautiful cinematography during dark night scenes as well. 6.5

This was a really remarkable story about two women, at an age when our culture tends to send them out to pasture, achieving the unachievable. I would love to see a sequel based on the friendship between Bonnie Stoll and Diana Nyad. They seem to have accomplished a great many interesting things in their lives that would make for a well-told story.

Bening and Foster did an outstanding job playing Nyad and Stoll. You almost forget that you are watching a movie. It was an overall great representation of an amazing story and achievement.

A pretty inspirational movie that feels like it could have been better suited as a documentary. Very interesting premise, but the actual plot drags out about a half hour too long and felt repetitive in nature. If it sounds interesting, it’s worth watching, it’s just one that’s hard to recommend over many other inspirational films.

Rating: 2.5/5 - 70% - Worth Watching

When you look at what she accomplishes in this, it's an amazing feat. Jodie Foster is great as the supportive best friend, but man there are moments where I am just annoyed with the Diana. I think reminds me of stubborn people, but at least she has a talent.

I’m honestly not sure what my takeaway is from this movie. I can’t say I understand the obsession with a personal achievement. I understand the drive to make a difference in the world but not to put a personal mark on the wall. So, I didn’t get swept up in Nyad’s challenge. I did, however, appreciate the fierce performance of Annette Being and the grounded performance of Jodie Foster (she inhabited the heart of the movie). I give this film a 7 (relentless) out of 10.

I honestly don't mind Annette Bening and Jodie Foster Oscar nominations for this years Oscars.

Both of them were the best parts of this film.

With an inspiring message and a spritely pace, Nyad is a comfortable biopic that reminds us that age is but a number, and it's never too late. I'm impressed that they let some of Nyad's egotism seep through when most of these features pave over the warts and ugliness to paint a perfect picture of who they're representing. A little paint by numbers and undercut by the possibility that Dianas claims are far from factual, Nyad is still an entertaining two hours nonetheless, and it's nice to see Jodie Foster still kicking ass.

The casting is excellent. Seeing the actual pictures of Diane and Bonnie was, like, “wow, that’s a bit spot on.”.

I think the poster child for this type of personality is Jim Parson’s portrayal of Sheldon Cooper. The social awkwardness, the obsessive compulsion, the narcissistic pendencies are all played better by Jim Parsons and while Annette Bening takes a good shot at it, it’s lacking in comparison. Where with Sheldon the viewer feels compassion and empathy .. with Diane Nyad I only felt disdain, that she purposely put these people at risk, where in all likelihood she really did have no clue, as the ending suggests.

The movie was interesting but not generally good, in my opinion.

[Netflix] A film as narratively unsuccessful as it is emotionally effective, thanks to an honest and intense performance by Annette Bening who addresses a complex and obsessive, sometimes manipulative character, without transmitting rejection in the viewer. There is great work in the supporting roles of Jodie Foster and Rhys Ifans who bring humanity to this story of perseverance that conveys this sporting feat without much depth, even leaving the inaccuracies of the anecdotes told by the protagonist as a slight joke. But it conveys emotion and intensity, despite everything.
