User Reviews

Brilliance...

This is a movie by runners, for runners. The director, one of the producers, and many of the actors in the movie are real runners, including many real winners of the Dipsea race that the film is based on. There's something about distance running that those of us that do it understand, and those that don't do it don't understand. This movie does a great job of showing the spiritual side of running, and the magic of pursuing goals. If you run, and know what I'm talking about, WATCH THIS FILM...It's an amazing, artistic, brilliant depiction of what it really means to be a runner.
