what a pleasant surprise. Trully moved me

Brilliant lesson for anyone who tells you that you cannot achieve your goals and aspirations

One of the best. Entralling.

This is a fantastic documentary about an all female crew sailing around the world in a sailing competition. Their obstacles were sexism AND nature and boy did they ever rise to the occasion. Great interviews with many of the intrepid sailors in this film (and one of the fossilized sexist journalists who covered the event). Do not miss this if you like Feminism or adventure.

Hugely enjoyable and insightful film into the ground breaking Maiden crew and skipper. You definitely don't need to be a sailing fan to appreciate the heroic achievements of the first all female crew or to be absorbed by the footage of racing in the most inhospitable environment of the Souther Ocean and the immense challenges that presented. Even though you likely know the outcome the film is gripping and exciting all the way through.

Phenomenal documentary, inspiring and touching.

One of the greatest films I've ever seen. Maiden manages to bring out the fullness of an incredible story, it's a ride-along with the crew. I felt all the emotional highs and lows as well as the exposure to the beauty and danger that comes with being at sea amid one of the greatest races in the world.

This is one of the most uplifting movies I have ever seen.

If there was to be only one movie to answer a question of an alien fife form wondering "what the hell humans are all about?" - that would be it! A wonderfully crafted, true, inspirational and emotional story that makes me proud of being a human being. A masterpiece!

A movie to enjoy even if you are not into sailing. It is a bit like Apollo 13: you already know the ending, but it still feels like a surprise. A really feel good movie that shows that you can win without winning.

Excellent telling and filming of the entire story, especially the struggle for financing and Bob Fisher's (sports journalist for The Guardian) coverage.

Solid watch. Strange to be transported back to the times where women were viewed as laughable tarts for attempting manly task they might be better suited towards. If there is one complaint I think they sanitised the sexism of the time. Much worse occurred and not many thought anything of it. A sign of the times piece of work, showing women sticking it to the man. The only disappointment was those swimsuits into New York...but, sign of the times. The best line was Ms. Edwards expressing the disbelief of what, "That little horror grew up to achieve". Good stuff.

An extraordinary achievement and uplifting story.

'Maiden', is a documentary film about Tracy Edwards and the crew of the Maiden as they compete as the first all-woman crew in the 1989–1990 Whitbread Round the World Race. It's lovely and packs a punch and should be made into a dramatic feature film. These are strong incredible women who defied odds just to compete. It's just a remarkable story. As for the doc, it's fine. Tons of unearthed footage and standard talking heads. We surely could have dove deeper into how the funding came so suddenly, but that isn't the overlying theme. Show this to a teenage girl when they're down in the dumps! Uplifting! Final Score: 8.2/10

Authentic and Perfect in every way! A must see..

Well done documentary using footage of the actual event. As someone with a little experience sailing small boats on lakes and bays I was awed by the power of the Southern Oceans and the courage of the young female crew.

This was a great documentary. It kept me and my friend captivated from the start! I especially loved all the footage from the author's childhood and early life, plus all the actual on-the-scene sailing footage! It was amazing!!!

My favorite movie this past year. Not sure why it wasn't chosen for any awards.

I absolutely love this movie!

Best. Documentary. Ever. ‘Nuff said.
