What sailboat was used in the movie "Styx"?

Does anyone recognize the boat that was used in the filming of the 2018 movie Styx? The movie is fairly accurate concerning the sailing (except for a couple of storm shots). It is a performance production boat but I can't figure out exactly what she is.

Just looked at the trailer and the brief glimpse left me with the impression its either a Beneteau or Bavaria.

Here is a picture of the boat.

Not sure, looks a bit like a Bene, or even a Swan.... but the name is a two word name in the aft end of the stripe on the side it appears...

Grand soleil 40

Deffo not a Bene, Bavaria or Jeaneau.. theres a Star up front not the Bene logo..
Can't remember who that belongs to..

That's it, GS 40. Thanks! Seeing the full filming crew on deck in the pic above makes me appreciate what a production effort that was.

I once led a field trip for one of those "Discovery Channel" shows. They decided to interview me while driving the cliff roads in the Grand Coulee *. All that stuff - including a spotlight suckered to the windshield, shining in my face, was applied to my Toyota, and the crew crammed into the other seats. "Now drive!" they say, "and just act naturally."

*After that, I noticed that whenever they think an interview isn't exciting enough, those sorts of shows have people driving or climbing around on rocks.

How was the movie?

My flight landed before I got even halfway through the movie. It was a bit slow but accurately depicted life on board for a solo sailor.

Does anyone have a link where the film can be watched?

Thanks for the link. Now I see why I was confused about the boat. See at t=18:50, they photoshopped out the "Grand Soleil" and replaced it with a continuous sheer stripe.

The movie licensing stuff is frustrating when living in Finland. Can't find any place to legally rent or buy the movie
