While not being politically combative, it is a film that provokes reflection on women issues. [Full review in Spanish]

| Jul 12, 2023

One of those sports documentaries that does not require you to be a fan of the sport to enjoy the film.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Jan 31, 2021

An immensely engaging, documentary.

| Dec 9, 2020

[A] heartwarming documentary.

| Mar 10, 2020

This is an amazing story of a woman, a boat and a crew that did something that was thought by many to be impossible.

| Original Score: B+ | Jan 24, 2020

Director Alex Holmes gracefully cuts back and forth from stirring archival footage of the Whitbread Round the World Yacht Race as cameras get up close and personal with the female crew.

| Jan 24, 2020

Luckily, this isn't the type of film that coasts on its inherently interesting story. It's edited with gusto, lining up its talking heads to emulate conversations.

Without revealing too much, it's fair to say Maiden, Edwards and her crew did better than most people expected.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Oct 19, 2019

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.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Oct 17, 2019

It's interesting to watch Tracy Edwards' maturation as a person -- she goes from claiming that she hates the word "feminist" to wholeheartedly embracing it.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Oct 13, 2019

What a revelation... It's quite stunning.

| Oct 1, 2019

[T]his is a thrilling story filled with heart-warming ups and anxiety-inducing downs.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Oct 1, 2019

Forget tales of drug-addled footballers and former All Black first five-eighths, this is the sporting documentary you need to see right now.

| Original Score: 4.5/5 | Sep 26, 2019

Like a rising tide, thrilling archival footage and still-timely female-empowerment themes lift the compelling documentary Maiden beyond the timeworn tropes of the underdog sports drama.

| Original Score: 3.5/4 | Aug 30, 2019

Exaltation, not outrage, is the primary experience of this film.

| Aug 22, 2019

For anyone who doesn't boat much, it's hard to grasp how yachting can be athletic, harrowing, admirable, or lethal. Maiden... makes a good case for the prowess, invention, and perseverance required.

| Aug 16, 2019

An inspiring look at an unsung trailblazer.

| Original Score: 7.5/10 | Aug 14, 2019

This is an engrossing and inspiring saga , one that leaves the viewer with a profound respect for the men (and women) who go down to the sea in ships.

| Aug 12, 2019

The boat was skippered by a former short-order cook whose early life struggles deserve to make a quite compelling feature film some day soon. Her all-female crew also gives ample room for actresses to play them with strength and guts.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Aug 10, 2019

Maiden transcends the rousing underdog sports story genre and offers an intriguing look at a stubbornly persistent sporting culture; one characterized by mindsets as outdated as its technology.

| Original Score: 88/100 | Aug 9, 2019
