Big vs Small (2020)
No surf, just self patting on the back

If you expect to see a documentary about big wave surfing, forget it. This is all about the transformation of Joana Andrade to prepare herself to surf Nazaré's waves, which frankly it's 1 hour of self praising and an attempt to elevate her to a heroine status. I kept rolling my eyes every single minute with clichés after clichés. Joana is to be admired by her courage to surf those waves, however she is not the woman that surfed the largest wave in Nazaré... so, why make a documentary about her? You really feel the producers fought to keep it interesting, but failed constantly. I don't understand the point of this documentary, someone pushed this one really hard.
