I was more moved than I expected to be .The Dynamic between Bening and Foster goes beyond what I kept hearing about. Bening the prickly Nyad who never gives up and learns to appericate her team as well as Foster who plays her friend ,confidant ,coach,concience and at times cheerleader.
Foster is consistant in her performance while Bening must play the confident and often arrogant Nyad with the underlying fear and need to meet meet her goals in the face of impossible odds and constant pressure to give up .The music used when Nyad is swimming is among my favorites and was a treat to listen to. The Make-up for Bening was incrediably realistic and unlike any de-glam I have ever sseen before and maybe the best .Extremely moved by Bening despite playing a difficult character. She makes the case for following a dream.
