So, 'Breathe' from 2022 takes you on this reflective journey with Julie Ridge. It’s a documentary that’s less about swimming per se and more an exploration of personal endurance and mental health. The tone is quite introspective, almost meditative, which I found compelling. The way it juxtaposes her historic swim around Manhattan with her struggles with bipolar disorder adds layers to her character. There’s a certain rawness in her storytelling that feels authentic, almost haunting at times. The pacing shifts - sometimes it lingers on her memories, other times it’s more brisk, which keeps you engaged. Not a flashy doc, but definitely a solid slice of human experience that tugs at the heartstrings and makes you think.
