- turbob24May 15, 2026On face value it's an interesting, nicely made film. But also a valiant, but not perfect, attempt to document what is less a story about a failed sailing race, as a portrayal of mental illness, mental collapse and it's devastating and vast consequences. I recommend further reading/viewing on Crowhurst, Psychosis, and its devastating impact. You don't need to be on a boat for it to destroy lives.
