The film is a compelling tribute to a remarkable achievement, and to a young woman who is, in her own words, "pretty bad-ass."

At best this functions as a pleasant aquatic travelogue; at worst it validates a teenage girl's egotism.
Ben Sachs, Chicago Reader

Before our eyes, Laura's lengthening limbs and deepening introspection become the point of a movie that begins with a child and ends with a young woman.
Jeannette Catsoulis, New York Times

What the film lacks in plot twists it makes up for in sheer amazement, such as one scene in which Dekker, in green night-vision, sways to Kool & the Gang's "Celebration" while closing in on the equator in her 40-foot vessel, Guppy.
