Maiden is simply riveting, a story of grandeur and sweep that's also moving and intimate because there are so many naked emotions in play. Go to Full Review Erick Estrada Cinegarage Jul 12, 2023

Laurin Sep 7, 2019 Exceptional and inspiring! Incredibly heartwarming ❤ See more alice Sep 3, 2019 Liked the story,the cinematography, and the fact that it was about women doing something very well.these women wernt even expected to finish one leg of the yacht race,let alone win a leg of the race. The film was inspiring and audience clapped at the end! See more Susan S Aug 19, 2019 The beautiful truth of this story. See more Michael M Aug 13, 2019 This is an uplifting move once you get past her later childhood years and it all happened in 1989-90 era when independent women had it so-so good. In the world of limited expectations especially with regards to what women could do as a team this was before the current US Women Soccer Team that is. We loved it and the people in our showing applauded at the end of the movie. See more Arthur L Aug 13, 2019 Really compelling tale and the pacing of it helps you feel the marathon these pioneers went on. Filled with tension, trials, and triumph I absolutely loved this story that I hadn’t heard of before. What a ride the maiden and her crew took. See more Steven B Aug 12, 2019 Wow for a documentary to bring a tear to the eye, along with Joy and laughter, this movie is special See more Read all reviews
