Maya and the Wave Ratings & Reviews
Variety
Dennis Harvey
The film more than succeeds in its primary goals of providing an inspirational role model plus lots of stupendous surfing footage, a combination that will enthrall most viewers.
The Playlist
Christian Gallichio
Featuring some incredible visuals, and using Gabeira to tell her own story, it's an entertaining and informative exploration of the professional surfing community.
Next Best Picture
Nadia Dalimonte
In focusing on Maya's vulnerability and inner endurance, what follows is an uplifting image of Maya and her reverberating impact on a younger generation of girls who now believe in the dream of being a professional surfer.
Moveable Fest
Stephen Saito
Turning the tide doesn't come easily for surfer Maya Gabiera in her bid to secure a Guinness World Record in Stephanie Johnes' engaging doc.
The Film Stage
Jared Mobarak
It's all shown with a single goal, though: to capture Maya's spirit, perseverance, and heroism. Because just as Burle got her excited about a sport that women weren't supposed to pursue, she's now inspiring young girls around the world.
RogerEbert.com
Marya E. Gates
What makes Maya such a compelling subject and Johnes's portrait of her so different from films about male surf legends, is Gabeira's willingness to admit her fear.
Film Threat
Dan Lybarger
Maya and the Wave is so graceful and elegant that you can almost forget the Herculean struggle that made it possible.
