“Just finished watching this excellent movie. Itu0026#39;s based on a true story, so there wonu0026#39;t be any spoilers here. Itu0026#39;s the story of Jessica Watsonl whou0026#39;s always dreamed of sailing around the world by herself. Sheu0026#39;s on a quest to be the younger person to do so.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eAs youu0026#39;d expect, she certainly has her share of obstacles. But she shows the true grit needed to complete such an adventure. The film goes from her at sea, to flashbacks of her growing up and all the things that led to this amazing adventure.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eI thought the acting was absolutely spot on. The photography and special effects were tremendous as well. And itu0026#39;s full of breathtaking action scenes that make you feel youu0026#39;re on board with her. Thereu0026#39;s one absolutely gorgeous scene when sheu0026#39;s caught in a dead-air zone. She stares at the night sky just full of stars with the David Bowieu0026#39;s u0026quot;Star Manu0026quot; quietly playing. Itu0026#39;s quite haunting.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eIf youu0026#39;re looking for a great film the whole family will enjoy, donu0026#39;t miss this one! But be sure to have some tissues handy. There are a couple of emotional scenes where even this jaded film reviewer puddled up a bit.”
