True Spirit has its flaws, but there is value in its earnest belief in the human spirit.

Give credit to Spillane for making sure that this movie isn’t just about the heartwarming highs, but about the hard work it took to reach them.

It’s impossible to predict how any title will fare on the streaming platform, but I’ll be surprised if this one isn’t quickly lost in the algorithms.

4/5

Structuring the film by days at sea, skipping 20 or more days at a time, and parallel editing her time on the boat with her family's life back home, keeps the pace of the story moving at an entertaining clip.

It's entirely unrealistic and very disappointing. I think movies should strive for more realism at least.
