Thanks for the review; looking forward to seeing it. Linda Greenlaw was interviewed on NPR a few weeks ago. When asked about difficulties in working and gaining respect in such a male-dominated occupation, she said it was never an issue (except in getting her own shower room on a boat) and that the Captain of a ship was "The Captain", period. This "Stonewall" response flustered the interviewer, who was expecting a more vulnerable and detailed reply. Greenlaw and her crew became the most successful fishermen in the region. Being the Best at one's job gets respect and stifles criticism.
Not surprised at Capt. Greenlaw's response. One of the requirements for leadership is a willingness not to share one's "inner self" with those being led.I doubt that her progress as a fisherwoman and boat captain was as anywhere near as simple as that. But, I'm also not surprised that she is unwilling to share those experiences.
BTW, the score on the film from the "professional" reviewers: Wash. Post and Wash. Times: thumbs up. Joel Siegel, ABC News: thumbs down.
