It’s not a straightforward and overly simplistic critique of sports, but a genuine, rigorous inquiry that ends up using short-distance sprinting as a means of exploring how we derive meaning from not only running or competition, but from basically anything.

It’s a great sports movie about the urge to be great at sports, and it’s one of the smartest movies the genre has produced in a long time.

The forging, rise and fall of a champion. With a distinctive visual style, what best sets this sports drama apart is its sobriety, free of triumphalist clichés.
