Director Sammi Cohen perfectly captures the heightened melodrama that paints everyone's teen years, while delivering emotional moments at all the right points. After an attempt to impress him leads to social disaster, Stacy is enraged when BFF Lydia (Samantha Lorraine) dates him instead, and soon everyone's lives are spiraling out of control in the kind of deranged, cruel ways only teenagers can manage. Unfortunately, Stacy's current life is far from perfect, chasing both acceptance from the popular kids at school and the affections of clueless Andy (Dylan Hoffman), who barely notices her. Stacy Friedman (Sunny Sandler) is obsessing over her upcoming bat mitzvah, insisting that it has to be perfect to set the course for the rest of her life, while older sister Ronnie (Sadie Sandler) provides backup in trying to convince their parents to throw a lavish party. We're glossing over the 'nepo baby' factor here-producer Adam Sandler takes a backseat supporting actor role here, allowing his two real-life daughters the spotlight-as this earns a pass by being a great teen comedy on its own merits. While Nyad is somewhat more fanciful than Vasarhelyi and Chin's documentary works and glosses over some aspects of the real-life Nyad's history, it stands as a testament to human determination, friendship, and the power of sheer stubbornness.

Meanwhile, Jodie Foster's turn as Bonnie Stoll, Nyad's friend, coach, and ex-partner, provides a sense of stability against the force of nature that the increasingly, almost dangerously determined Nyad becomes.

This biopic from directors Elizabeth Chai Vasarhelyi and Jimmy Chin ( Free Solo) casts Annette Bening as an almost monomaniacally obsessed Nyad, determined to prove to everyone-or maybe just herself-that she can complete the marathon swim that had bested her all her life. The idea of trying to swim the route solo might raise a few concerns, let alone doing it with as few protective measures as possible-but that's exactly what long-distance swimmer Diana Nyad did, and at the age of 64, no less. There's about 110 miles of mean water between Cuba and Florida, filled with jellyfish, man o' wars, and sharks and prone to terrible weather.
