    If you are a cyclist at hear you will love this movie just as much as American Flyers and Breaking Away. Just a fantastic story or triumph and the human spirt.

    An excellent movie overall and is sure in inspire. A true story of a cyclists battle against the norm in cycling and also his own personal depression. You don't have to be a cycling fan to enjoy this one...the acting is excellent, the story is true and the victory over depression and cycling world records will be heartfelt. A MUST SEE on iTunes.
  • Great movie!

    This is an excellent movie for the cycling fan, and non-cycling fan. I think everyone can appreciate this movie. Jonny Lee Miller plays the role of Obree perfectly!

    I really liked this film! Encouraging story about a Scottish amateur cyclist Graeme Obre, who broke the world record using a bicycle he designed -defying the odds.

    Great sleeper of a moving. An endearing story about one man's battles with depression and his attempts to run away from then. In the end he seemingly reconciles these personal demons and apparently goes on to lead a rather normal life. An enthusiastic two thumbs up!
