I had the pleasure of seeing this film last night at the Edinburgh Film Festival. The film was introduced by Douglas Mackinnon, Graeme Obree and Brian Cox. Laura Fraser and Billy Boyd were also present.
I could only spoil this film if you knew nothing about Graeme Obree's sporting achievements but I'll keep this short by saying that this is a very good film which is well acted and well directed. I found the story to be likable and informative. In the main, it's the story of Graeme's life but the latter part of the film does focus on his struggle with his own demons and with the governing body of the sport of cycling. The film is always interesting and never dull and the struggle to make the film was well worth it.
I would recommend it!
