Maiden Ratings & Reviews
Chicago Reader
Andrea Gronvall
[A] heartwarming documentary.
Detroit News
Adam Graham
"Maiden" makes sense of her journey and tells a story whose tidal waves were felt far beyond the deck of her ship.
Austin Chronicle
Marc Savlov
[Alex] Holmes' documentary is as inspirational and empowering as it is frothily exhilarating.
Seattle Times
Moira MacDonald
A taut, gripping documentary about one young woman's dream...
AARP Movies for Grownups
Thelma Adams
A thrilling, often weepy tale of female empowerment.
Newsday
Rafer Guzman
"Maiden" concludes so movingly, with such perfect symbolism, that it rivals any scripted sports drama.
San Diego Reader
Scott Marks
If only director Alex Holmes' ability to commandeer a story was one-tenth as ambitious as his lead character.
Boston Globe
Tom Russo
Writer-director Alex Holmes ("Stop at Nothing: The Lance Armstrong Story") absorbingly recounts the story of Edwards and her team in an unfussy linear style that effectively recaptures the tension of their gutsy undertaking.
Arizona Republic
Kerry Lengel
Maiden" celebrates the defiant spirit of all the female athletes who have challenged the sporting world's entrenched sexism.
Tribune News Service
Katie Walsh
With stunning archival footage and interviews with the amazing Maiden crew, Holmes captures that high in this stirring documentary that recounts not just the feminist achievement, but triumph of the human spirit.
Washington Post
Ann Hornaday
But even at its most visceral and exciting, it's the emotion at the story's core, and the higher principles at work, that make it transcendent.
Rolling Stone
Peter Travers
An all-women crew knocked the sexist world on its ass by winning this 1989 yacht race. This dazzling doc from director Alex Holmes proves these female pioneers are still a cause for celebration.
Wall Street Journal
John Anderson
What we have from director Alex Holmes is a documentary with all the nervous-making energy of a first-rate drama; a cast of sailors who are both endearing and intelligent; and a delicately wrought suspense story.
RogerEbert.com
Odie Henderson
Maiden excels as a suspenseful sports tale and a record of a historic first, but its biggest strength is in its warts-and-all character study of the Maiden crew.
TheWrap
Monica Castillo
The negativity and sexism the crew faced is so purposefully explained earlier in the film that the audience gets a full sense of the emotional response the Maiden earned around the world.
AV Club
Allison Shoemaker
Director Alex Holmes and editor Katie Bryer cannily draw out the story beneath the story, allowing it to bob along in the wake of Edwards' tale.
New York Times
Manohla Dargis
[Its] political narrative arc is what distinguishes "Maiden," which draws you in even when the predigital images prove less than lovely.
Slant Magazine
Wes Greene
Director Alex Holmes ultimately takes a frustratingly simplistic approach to his thematically rich material.
RogerEbert.com
Nick Allen
An incredible story, and Holmes keeps a sharp eye on its cultural commentary to make it a part of a contemporary conversation.
The Hollywood Reporter
Caryn James
A rousing, real-life, feminist adventure tale.
