Maidentrip Ratings & Reviews
Moveable Fest
Stephen Saito
Regardless of the young sailor's considerable nautical expertise, there is no such thing as smooth sailing on the trip Dekker is going on and watching her navigate those waters is a beautiful and exciting sight to behold.
Common Sense Media
Brian Costello
Excellent docu about teen sailor; some brief profanity.
Nonfics (Substack)
Christopher Campbell
Such a wonderful teen movie. Dekker is a shining presence on screen, star material in a way that makes the film very watchable.
East Bay Express
Kelly Vance
Immensely entertaining documentary.
Oregonian
Jamie S. Rich
"Maidentrip" isn't just about the endeavor, but the stops made along the way, showing one young person unafraid to commit to a dream.
Seattle Times
Moira MacDonald
The film is a compelling tribute to a remarkable achievement, and to a young woman who is, in her own words, "pretty bad-ass."
The Dissolve
Scott Tobias
Dekker knows who she is, what she wants to do, and how to get it done, and Maidentrip wisely sails off the tailwinds of her confidence and boundless curiosity.
Chicago Reader
Ben Sachs
At best this functions as a pleasant aquatic travelogue; at worst it validates a teenage girl's egotism.
Entertainment Weekly
Chris Nashawaty
Maidentrip is full of sunsets and dolphins but short on introspection and drama.
The Playlist
Katie Walsh
Maidentrip ends up being not necessarily about the amazing feat that Dekker accomplished, it's about finding one's true self, and enjoying the ride along the way.
Paste Magazine
Shane Ryan
Though this is a document of real life, Dekker is still one of the best characters I've seen in film this year.

Susan Wloszczyna
What a relief it is to spend quality movie time with an adolescent girl who isn't pining for a boy or obsessed with social media.
New York Times
Jeannette Catsoulis
Before our eyes, Laura's lengthening limbs and deepening introspection become the point of a movie that begins with a child and ends with a young woman.
New York Post
Sara Stewart
What the film lacks in plot twists it makes up for in sheer amazement, such as one scene in which Dekker, in green night-vision, sways to Kool & the Gang's "Celebration" while closing in on the equator in her 40-foot vessel, Guppy.
ComingSoon.net
Edward Douglas
To create something so epic while also maintaining itself as a small and intimate film is something that's difficult to accomplish. Somehow Schlesinger is able to pull off that feat.
Film.com
David Ehrlich
Imagine if All is Lost were a great documentary starring Jennifer Lawrence.
New York Daily News
Elizabeth Weitzman
"Maidenstrip" is a clear-eyed chronicle of Dekker's record-breaking voyage. Think "All Is Lost," but real, and with a teenage girl instead of Robert Redford (plus a very different ending).
Village Voice
Michael Nordine
Schlesinger seems in such a rush to guide us to the end unscathed that she sometimes loses sight of the small details that make this journey unique.
Hollywood & Fine
Marshall Fine
You watch her sailing and you get caught up in the relaxing, infinite quality of the pursuit: the sounds, the colors, the feeling - you are and must be totally in the moment.
Slant Magazine
Kenji Fujishima
A coming-of-age journey of self-realization, made immensely more involving by virtue of being seen through its subject's first-person perspective.
