Annette Bening was nominated for Best Actress at this year’s Academy Awards. This is the cracking, wonderful and uplifting story of Diana Nyad, who decides at age 60 to complete her lifelong ambition, to swim from Cuba to Florida, a feat she couldn’t achieve aged 28. It’s uplifting, it’s daring, it’s an adventure, a truly motivational story. Both Annette Bening and Jodie Foster are tremendous 8n third respective roles. Now, we know it’s superficial to comment on people’s appearances, but can I just say how wonderful it is to see two natural looking actresses, for real, how refreshing. We also admired the music throughout the film, some real classics were chosen, including The Sound of Silence. Check out NYAD for the human drama and the marvelous performances by Bening and Foster, you’ll be glad you did.
