Viewers are generally moved by 'Nyad', praising its portrayal of Diana Nyad's incredible feat of swimming from Cuba to Florida at age 64. The performances of Annette Bening and Jodie Foster are frequently highlighted as powerful and compelling. While the film is celebrated for its inspirational message and emotional depth, some viewers felt it was overly long and lacked dramatic tension, making it less engaging than expected.
