What on What's Good

The Swimmers Working Title Films Netflix My Rating 6/10 #whatonwhatsgood Fan Club Rating  65% #whatonwhatsgood The Swimmers Express Review There's a war in Syria and Syrian swimmer Yusra Mardini (Nathalie Issa) and her sister, Sara (Manal Issa) decided they needed to leave.  The film is really about survival.  Can these girls really make it to Germany without being harmed?  What will they need to do to get out of Syria safely?      Overall, I think director Sally El Hosaini's' The Swimmers' did a fantastic job of telling this inspirational, heartfelt, and emotional true story.   The film really shows what Yusra and Sara had to overcome along the way.  The only flaw I saw in the movie was that I thought they rushed Yusra's journey to make it to the 2016 Rio Olympics.  Release dates September 8, 2022 (TIFF) November 11, 2022  November 23, 2022 (Netflix) Directed by Sally El Hosaini Screenplay by Sally El Hosaini an...
