Saw the movie last night and started crying halfway through, for most of the reasons you did. Annette Bening and Jodie Foster were brilliant in their portrayals. I loved all Nyad's support staff, with a passion - especially Jodie Foster's Bonnie Stoll and Rhys Ifans's John Bartlett. I spent much of the film pissed off at Diana Nyad, for her MacGuffinism, but, unlike you, I saw a tiny glimmer of redemption, at the very end, when, finally onshore, Nyad said it was a team effort. Hope springs...perhaps.... Love your take, Laurie....
