Sally

Watched at the 2025 Sundance Film Festival

I love to appreciate stories about women being able to achieve goals outside of their traditional zones to impact the lives of womanhood and equality. Sally Ride is an interesting person and this documentary does a decent observation of her career and what made her important.

The filmmaker clearly is passionate to tell the tale of Ride and there are many moments of discussions, editing choices and presentations that clearly captures the time period, the purpose, and what the information is wanting to discuss. Allowing us to go into some of Ride's personal life, like her love life, and understand her more through a personal level.

I do appreciate what they are going for. However, much of the information does feel a bit repetitive. Particularly with certain subjects feeling as if we have been given but repeated a few times. Which doesn't make it a big impactful experience for certain moments.

Overall, a decent watch.
