Be skeptical about others critics

The movie is very unique, being different from all the movies I have ever seen. This alone helps to hold your attention, but an intriguing script and breathtaking scenery it captivates the viewer even more. Furthermore, the movie is quite realistic and is inspired by a real story, at the end of the movie it keeps you wondering of what actually happened and what was just fiction. Overall it's a nice movie, I was surprised by the negative reviews so far, definitely worth seeing, especially if you are interested in the plot, my only caveat would be if you are looking for a comedy or bawdy movie, otherwise I would definitely recommend watch it.

Quite good

I enjoyed watching this film. It is different from all the other films you can see on Netflix. Based on a very interesting story. What this film has to offer are beautiful pictures of the see and under-the-surface world. The main characters risking their lives make you involved and worried about them every time they try to break a new diving record. At the beginning they mention though a Russian record diver named Alex Sikorsky- I could not trace this person anywhere in internet. Is this a fictional character? Sikorski is a Polish nobile family name, there was as well a Polish king with this name. So why Russian????? It lacks some basic research. Is Bonaparte an Italian name?

Bad performance acting and production...

Was expecting something more whit the story they had in hands with this movie, feeling like they're lost a great opportunity to explore a lot more. Feelings, expressions, moments, emotions... It was like the producer director was just sleeping while they've been producing the whole movie.

As a.follower of the american's productions tho is natural for me to feel frustrated with any other movie from another country. But this goes beyond that. The actors could really act way better as much as the.plot could have been way better worked out.

So that said, I want to make sure if you are going to watch this, go without any expectations as I did and maybe you can like it, I mean,,, it's not that bad as I made it seems like hahhaha Have a great time.

Never trust a man .....Fiction But Based On Life of Real Divers

This fiction movie I found out after watching it is actually based on the life of Audrey Mestre (1974 - 2002) a French world record-setting freediver and her husband. Since it is actually a fiction movie, it is obvious that someone took liberties and embellished this story - they either had insider information on her personal details or made up a bunch of baloney for a story as it doesn't really match the Wikipedia biography on her. This disturbs me a bit because although 20 years have passed, I have no idea what the laws are in France but I assume that someone got paid or gave permission to do this Netflix story - and I truly hope it wasn't her husband exploiting her memory for money. He was actually portrayed as her boyfriend in this movie who was a diver himself and taught her how to dive. The movie itself was kind of interesting and gave me a greater understanding of the sport itself. I have no idea why someone would want to do it although I have seen lots of Greek divers in FL get started by diving for sponges, The acting was a little bad but the likeness of the FL was very similar to the real person.

Mindblowing

Surprised to see this rating on IMDB but for me this movie is 10/10.

Totally breathtaking from the first minute - maybe because for me water is a great mystery and every time they dive in I was stressed out, waiting to see what will happen.

A lot to learn from the story of the main character - Roxana and all the way she goes towards achieving her dream - to find her purpose.

Entangled within the hard live she had, the hard live her love had and the mistakes they want to "fix", there is a love story so complicated that you want to see it ending in a different way.

And I did not expect the ending of the movie which quite made me think of the whole story for days.

Trivia
Shortly after the film's premiere on Netflix, former diver Francisco Ferreras sued Netflix for intentionally suggesting him being the murderer of his wife, Audrey Mestre. Ferreras and Mestre were a diver couple who used to perform free diving across the world. In 2002 during a free dive in the Dominican Republic, Mestre drowned while surfacing from underwater, as her surfacing device malfunctioned. Following her death, the media strongly suggested Ferreras to be the perpetrator, as he might have interfered the device in order to kill her. He was even arrested for questioning, but was later released. In No Limit, Mestre and Ferreras' story is loosely adapted into a drama between estranged couple Pascal Gautier and Roxane Aubrey. In the film, Pascal is an abusive husband of Roxane who is jealous of her successful career in free diving, something he is not perfect at. The film strongly suggests at the finale that he sabotaged Roxane's breathing device that causes her to drown underwater while surfacing, similar to the death of Audrey Mestre in real life. At the end of the film, an obituary dedicated to Mestre is shown.

Following the release of the film, Mestre's widower Ferreras filed a defamation lawsuit against Netflix for blaming him for Mestre's death, as the film claimed to be "inspired by true events". In response, director David M. Rosenthal said that the film was a work of fiction and had no similarities with real life whatsoever.
