  • Summary

  • "Just because we are on a one way street hurtling to death doesn't mean we have to succumb to mediocrity."

    For our third week discussing the Best Actress nominees for the 96th Academy Awards, we are discussing yet another biopic! The Oscars love them and we love to hate them. Nyad (2023) is an American biographical film surrounding Diana Nyad's multiple attempts to swim from Cuba to Florida in her 60's. The Filmme Fatale of this movie is Annette Bening, with a hefty Jodie Foster shoutout, who portrays the complex, mostly unlikeable, and perhaps unreliable Nyad.

    This movie was a ride, and not a fun one. We discuss how this film contributes to the genre of the biopic, as well as how we feel Annette and Jodie's wonderful acting was not possibly enough to save this sinking ship of disastrous creative choices. I don't want to speak too soon, but this is most likely our least favourite film of Oscars season. Your mom would probably love it, though!
