Athlete Diana Nyad sets out at 60 to achieve a nearly impossible lifelong dream: to swim from Cuba to Florida across more than 100 miles of open ocean.

[@Subhidevi]

I am 63, the same age Diana was when she accomplished this! I hadn't been able to swim since my brother suicided 1 yr and a half ago, I was devastated. The day after watching this inspirational, edge-of-your-seat, suspense movie, I went to the local pool and signed up! Thank you all 4 for your incredible strength and love.❤

This is really beautiful. I'm so sorry sweetheart. I host a Depression Support Group and even with the support, it really is a disease. I pray you find peace again. I am grieving the loss of my mother from cancer last month. You are not alone ! Much love

I can’t imagine any actor more deserving of an Oscar than Annette Bening in this role.

[@kathleenmadigan2728]

I totally agree!

I tried, but couldn't express it better.

[@vickiblack2425]

"We weren't aware of limitations. We just do what we do." I love that and everyone should be more this way.

Annette deserves that Oscar ! She was robbed so many times before

[@tonitalas1757]

Foster and Benning...ICONS!

[@dakotac180]

I love that they all get to interview each other. The platonic dynamic they have in the film is so full of support and love. It had some fantastic scenes.

[@nross940]

I read that Annette Benning was a lifeguard when she was young so that's genius casting. And of course, Jodie can do no wrong. I had never heard of Diana Nyad so I enjoyed the film just for them bringing her story to life.

[@Kimberlyanne-uu7yu]

Jodie is my fav.

[@jameycollins725]

Diana seems like such a chill person who basically gives zero fucks about what anybody thinks or who stands in her way when trying to accomplish a life goal-love it!

[@ThefetchNZ]

These woman talking to each other is everything I didn’t know I needed.

[@1c2h3e4u5n6g]

So nice to see these beautiful, powerful women without a trace of botox, sharing their wisdom and being genuine 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻✨✨✨

[@nahhhbruhhh]

You don’t know what people have/haven’t had done. They are beautiful and what an odd thing to bring up in a moment that was so much more than appearances.

[@katwashere194]

I love this movie and I love these 4 beautiful women aging gracefully without plastic surgery. Thank you!

[@theunquietmindpodcast]

❤I totally agree! The natural beauty is wonderful to see! They look amazing.

[@briarrose7016]

Isn't it sad how many of us feel we have to say that? It's such a big problem and distraction that just shouldn't be.

[@katwashere194]

[@dulcesosalopez5568]

one of the best stories and movies I have seen this year, excellent performances and excellent message, never giving up ❤👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@Veromac100]

I agree with you 100% I loved the movie! So well portrayed and a story well told. Great performances! I saw the interview of Diana with Oprah and something that stuck with me since then is her mantra “Find a way” I use it in my daily life and have taught my sons to use it as their mantra too.

[@Veromac100]

And when Diana says “…chase big dreams and have the courage to fail…” wow! It really does take courage to fail and more courage to get up and keep going!

[@mananimal3644]

I am here for Jodie❤️👏🏿💯

[@anthonyx3576]

Mission Impossible and this movie was my top for year

[@velvetmusic9851]

I did not know about the story of Diana Nyad, brilliant! I admit I watched the movie because of Jodie Foster, who has already won all sorts of awards and can now relax and do her best work. But I really fell in love with the story, the amazing Diana, the friendship with Bonnie(basically the best friend in the world). And Annette Bening, wow, what a great surprise. The story deserves more than an Oscar, the power of Diana's spirit is otherworldly, she is herself at all costs, and that's why she never cared of the limitations imposed by the times or the people or the package of standards and rules about gender, age or romantic preferences. This movie shows how much work there is behind every failure and every success, the sweat and pain and tears, and the things you give up or lose on the way, to become good enough to bend the rules of the world.

[@siddharthnaagar7028]

Loved Nyad, although seems highly unlikely but i hope Jodie and Annette get oscar nominations

[@alexd1121]

Why is it unlikely? Annette Bening has to not only be nominated but she needs to win. Her performance is absolutely incredible by all means.

[@marklana]

they got nominated for the golden globe!!

[@shantanunish955]

​​@@alexd1121she's not gonna win the competition is extremely tough this year Lilly Gladstone from Killers of the flower moon is gonna give her a tough competition, EMILY BLUNT in Oppenheimer is the current front runner for the Oscar Annette is unfortunately way down the list

[@alexd1121]

@@shantanunish955 that would be extremely unfortunate. Of course the Oscars rarely get it right considering how they never gave Oscars to Hitchcock, Chaplin, Kubrick and gave awards more than once to winners that don’t stand the test of time. Neither Lily Gladstone (who owes the hype of her performance and nomination mainly to her ethnicity and physical appearance and to the director) nor Emily Blunt’s performance which is fine but doesn’t hold a candle to the tour de force of Annette Bening’s performance should win. If you haven’t seen Nyad I couldn’t recommend it more. Her performance is just mind boggling and more so if you really know how far it is from her natural hyper feminine nature. Just brilliant. And that’s also regardless of the fact that she’s the oldest nominee which granted shouldn’t be an issue.

[@Bookwasbetter]

Well, they probably won't win this year, but they were at least both nominated!

[@samsong24]

This entire interview proved that both actresses nailed their roles. Two brilliant women portrayed by two other brilliant women.

[@susanharkema2888]

I want to HANG with these four women. Love, love, love all the way around. What a performance of an amazing story and partnership.

[@teamactivellc6497]

So far my favorite film of 2023.

[@nokesbob2256]

This is one of the best films I've ever seen. Thank you to the four of these women for showing that there are no boundary's to what you can do. No age limit. I was touched by the friendship of these two women and the years of hanging in there. I would say this film is Oscar worthy.

[@reneeparker7475]

An awesome and inspiring movie. Annette and Jodie really were the only two who could play their parts. Diana Nyad and Bonnie Stoll made a difference to a lot of older women, including me.

[@Stefarooh]

Jodie looks beautiful here. Natural all the way. So does Annette, what great ambassadors of film these two greats are.

[@PhoebeFayRuthLouise]

So cool Jodie knew them from parties! I don’t know why it does, I just know it tickles me to hear that! 3:34

[@lisanevins3605]

I haven't seen the movie. I'm in awe of the gratitude that everyone sitting at the table has for each other. Sure actors act but there's something more happening here. Maybe it's the best of humanity that we are seeing & feeling. I can't wait to see the film❤

[@theholladaygardenhome366]

I would love to have Ms. Nyad’s openwater playlist. I’m always looking for songs with the right stroke rhythm. Great movie!

[@JosanneCassar-op7ip]

I keep telling everyone I know to watch this film...inspirational, awesome women, all four of them

[@Voyager759]

Kudos to both ladies for choosing to age gracefully!

[@BiblewithBelle]

This movie was AMAZING!!! I was crying when Nyad was walking out of water cheering her on, you feel a part of it. Always loved Annette Benning and Jodie Foster they are just pure talent. It was played so well. And wow what amazing women, Diana and Bonnie ❤️ so inspiring

[@bellevans]

I love the way the movie showed, and honored, the people who worked on Nyad's team. A lot of people give up their time and money to chase a dream. Like Benning says at the end, one person does not accomplish this alone; it takes a team. Maybe the heart of a great movie.

[@colleen6050]

excellent movie and thank you for this sit down discussion. Annette and Jodie are two of the finest actors, writers and directors in the industry. BRAVO

[@fortissimoX]

That movie was so inspiring! I hope Annette wins Oscar!

[@jessicacis8246]

Two of my favorite actors in life

[@LunFamilyCoTV]

Incredible! Just watching them after the movie and it's like seeing them in double. It has an immense impact about delivering a memoir into our present moment by the power of film,script,actors... Also I must say,it'll always stay in a special place of reach when I lose the hope or motivation... They are all individuals without any tags and NYAD is a great example of a film about telling a life long journey by women with women... Top notch performances and seeing such a lovely communication they have over curiosity and joy... I wish I could be on that table with them all

[@cristinacalheiros8311]

Annette acting leaves such an impression of Diana in your mind and heart like Angela Bassett in the movie playing Tina Turner also hats off to J Foster great great performances i truly believe hard work is the reality of making the impossible possible that is the take away i got from the movie the lions attitude never never give up

[@avrilstacy3133]

It's so interesting watching totally different types of people discussing actors playing the part of the super athlete with nerves of steel to swim that distance in shark infested water. The Actors dont have a movie about them, even though I like them but they arent the person the movie is about. NYAD is a legend of our time.

[@cynthiapohlman4386]

Really an Amazing Film, an amazing friendship

I admire NYAD and Bonnie! How do u achieve it? That kind of stories should be told … thanks for this film. I don’t like the culture of overestimating actors but this two did a good job. In the end of the day, the story about human nature and determination is unreal ! It’s absolutely the most beautiful film of this year… no killing, no production of atomic bombs, just pure inspiration for all of us. NYAD & team you are champs!

[@debbiewechter9718]

Annette should get an Oscar. She was excellent in this movie.

[@asun3630]

Out of all the contenders for Oscars this year, I have to say that Anette and Jodi did such a great job. I really love Jodi! She’s my fav. Her role in Contact just speaks to me! So if I could have my way in the Oscars, I have to say Danielle Brooks in the color Purple. She gave her all. And Anette gave her all. So I hope for those two to win. I’d be happy if Jodi wins too, don’t get me wrong. I love her! I dunno what’s gonna happen but I’m gripped and I’m going to be rooting for these women! ❤
