Daisy Ridley's New Disney Film Continues Her Rotten Tomatoes Rebound
Young Woman and the Sea, Daisy Ridley's next Disney movie, keeps her Rotten Tomatoes rebound strong. Previously working on Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales, Joachim Rønning directed and Jeff Nathanson scripted the film, which chronicles the actual story of Gertrude Ederle, a professional swimmer who became the first woman to cross the English Channel. Along with Ridley in the major part, the cast consists in Tilda Cobham-Hervey, Stephen Graham, Kim Bodnia, Christopher Eccleston, and Glenn Fleshler.
Young Woman And The Sea has a Rotten Tomatoes rating of 86% as reviews of it flood in. There are just under 40 reviews at the time of writing, hence the score will vary; still, this is Ridley's third consecutive "Fresh" rating following her four "Rotten" releases from 2019. Young Woman and the Sea has to retain a rating of 60% or above if it is to remain "Fresh".
How does the Rotten Tomatoes score of Young Woman & The Sea match Daisy Ridley's most recent films?
Once cast as Rey in the Star Wars sequel trilogy in 2015, Ridley emerged from obscurity to superstar. Her work have drawn varied comments, though. Following the 51% Rotten Tomatoes rating of Rise of Skywalker, the lowest ever for a live-action Star Wars picture, Ridley went on to star in a run of critically criticized projects. This featured author Patrick Ness's dystopian sci-fi trilogy Chaos Walking, which was a critical and financial disaster eliminating any chances for starting a series based on it.
Ridley starred in Ophelia (59%), which from Ophelia's point of view chronicles Shakespeare's Hamlet before Rise of Skywalker. The psychological thriller The Marsh King's Daughter (43%) prolonged Ridley's "Rotten" run into 2023. But it ended subtly when Ridley mentioned a character in The Inventor (75%), a French stop-motion feature set for 2023. Although she just provided her voice to the independent drama Sometimes I Think About Dying (81%), Ridley acted in and produced; it debuted at Sundance in 2023. Ridley's very moving performance was hailed, and her career underwent a sea change.
Looking at Daisy Ridley's Career
Daisy Ridley plays the gifted swimmer born in New York City in 1905 from immigrant background. She rose through the ranks of the Olympic swimming squad and completed the amazing feat—a 21-mile trek from France to England— overcoming hardship and a patriarchal society's hostility as well as the unwavering support of her older sister and encouraging instructors.
Although Ridley's last movie is quite popular, how will her career turn? Since the actress chose more challenging roles, her future seems bright.

The Next TV Show Star Wars: Acolyte
The upcoming TV series Acolyte from Star Wars will gently reinterpret one of George Lucas's most important themes—in the greatest conceivable manner. Though Star Wars has always been the story of light against dark, Lucas chose to be clear when he revealed the Chosen One prophesied in Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace. Anakin Skywalker was supposed, he said, to bring "balance to the Force." But even Lucas's notion of what this means seems to have evolved with time, and the idea keeps altering during the Disney era.
Showrunner Leslye Headland and actor Amandla Stenberg discussed the Force's balance just with Screen Rant. Their viewpoint is a little more subtle and sophisticated; they emphasize a degree of individualism rather than stressing the cosmic elements of the Force and do not set light and dark in opposition to one another.
