Annette Bening & Jodie Foster movie on Netflix - Nyad

[ Edited ]

I enjoyed this new movie on Netflix with these 2 highly talented actors.

 

Nyad is about marathon swimmer Diana Nyad and her record-breaking 2013 swim from Cuba to Florida.   It's a good movie and in the end, they show the real life Diana Nyad and her friend/coach with Annette and Jodie.

I just finished this. Fantastic acting, the women wore no make up so I looked very much like a documentary rather than a movie. You had to hold your breath in the water scenes. They were so realistic.

@San Antonio Gal 

 

I've been seeing this advertised on Netflix for a few days now and for some reason just passed it by. Sounds like I shouldn't have done that. It sounds interesting and I agree with the ladies before me that I will watch it as soon as I get the time. Thanks for the suggestion!

Another thumbs up for Nyad.  The acting was excellent and I liked the no-glamour approach.

I really enjoyed this movie. Well acted, exciting during the swimming scenes, and inspiring to realize Diana Nyad's tenacity.  Though her swim from Cuba to Key

West was never officially recognized and put in the record books, she did succeed. What a gal and what a dear friend she had!
