Over the years, I have seen many women athletes inspiration movies (e.g. Million Dollar Baby, Personal Best, Bend It Like Beckham, Battle of the Sexes, Nadia, Blue Crush, Double Teamed, Ride Like a Girl, The Miracle Season, etc.) and this one has to be among the top five (if not the top). Daisy Ridley and Tilda Cobham-Hervey along with their younger selves Olive Abercrombie and Lilly Aspell are just fantastic in their roles with their superb acting performances.

This film has shown how far we've come as women in the world of men with all the hardships and obstacles and hoops that women have to jump through to just get the same basic things and treatments as boys and men. If you watch this movie as an ordinary man or a woman, you should see why "woke", "progressive", and "liberal" movements are NOT only needed in this man's world BUT also a must and a right to the other half of the species on this planet.

Imagine all the potentials, productivity, benefits, discoveries, contributions, etc. that women could have done for this human species if they were let to be as free as men. It has been proven over and over again, women can be a force that fills the other half of mankind. Just look up the American women who stepped up to do the man's works at factories and industries during WWII in the United States. It's a shame that men often feel the need to subjugate women because of their own insecurity and power-hunger.

At the time that the original character, Daisy is portraying in the movie, teradactyles were attacking most of the British isles. But Trudy was safe because she looked like Julia Childes.😂❤

Great movie. I feel like Kathrine Switzer should get a movie too

Equal for women, and not any pretend women. Let’s hope all women can be free to compete everywhere and in everything. A lot of work needs to be done with countries like Saudi, Iran, Pakistan and especially Afghanistan.

Equity??? What equity??? Stupid people are talking these days saying bs.

[Bert-lwot]

As soon as you bring in the same amount of money, we can talk about “equity in sport”!!

Already happens in tennis and the UFC…stop trying to force it, when it hasn’t been earned
