Netflix at the beginning of November last year - a movie about sports from two Oscar-winning directors and spouses Jimmy Chin and Elizabeth Chai Vasarheli (Oscar for the documentary "Free-solo") - "Diana Nyed" - about the famous swimmer. The swimmer herself acted as the producer of this picture.
As a result, I can say that the movie lacked drama. Everything is smooth and too harmonious for sports heavy in many, like a cardiogram - Life. And filmed almost as for an artistic biopic - in a semi-documentary manner, which is readable.
More emphasis is placed on personal life and coverage of its details. But!
Annette Bening and Jodie Foster’s magnificent performance keeps the focus from start to finish.
A well-deserved Oscar nomination for both this year.💋
