Quote:
"The power of the story is strange because you know how it ends, you know Bell makes it—the film [Our Marilyn] even shows you the front-page celebrations first. But the drama still draws you in. There are those wonderful, abstracted images, a powerful soundtrack—the water, the narrator's rhythmic voice—and a text that follows the chronology of the swim."
-- Cameron Bailey
