Enthralling viewing even for audiences with little to no knowledge of or interest in sailing, Maiden pays powerful tribute to a true pioneer.

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

Rated: 3/5

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.

Rated: 4/5

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

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

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.

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

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.
