I loved the cinematography and the editing on this. Following the journey of 3 unconnected people with a drive for excellence and finding freedom through sport and competition, it's easy to be inspired by what that can do to a person in terms of advocating for rights, independence and confidence. I connected to Muna's storyline as she is a college-aged girl raised in Saudi, overcoming trauma inflicted the fading culture of religious police, dealing with a mom who is controlling but who is equally traumatized and just wants to protect her daughter.
It is incredibly well made. I was surprised how much on-location filming took place, all 3 storylines with stark visuals and feelings differentiating one from the other.

It is not a big deal, there are no surprises, it did not really touch me, it was even shallow about the stories, superficial ! I really, really expected more...
Highlight to actress Pascale Seigneurie (Muna), she is tall and has an exotic beauty.
Brazilian part, not so great, unfortunately, could be better... And the ending of this story in particular, I found it frustrating... I think that another type of sport could have been explored, one that involved greater challenges and sacrifices for the athlete and for which there was greater identification with the Brazilian people, it would have been more exciting to follow the character's entire personal struggle.
