ManiakJiggy This is How Movies Should Be Made
Robert Joyner The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one
Hayleigh Joseph This is ultimately a movie about the very bad things that can happen when we don't address our unease, when we just try to brush it off, whether that's to fit in or to preserve our self-image.
Deanna There are moments in this movie where the great movie it could've been peek out... They're fleeting, here, but they're worth savoring, and they happen often enough to make it worth your while.
terrymwalsh Roger Donaldson, thank you, thank you, thank you for letting me get to know that wonderful Kiwi, Burt Munro! What a legend and you have brought him to life for me in your recent movie 'The Worlds Fastest Indian' and now in your double DVD which includes your original documentary on Burt. I cannot say enough great things about this man and his 1920 Indian motorcycle and you Roger and your unfailing desire to bring him to life. Burt is a true legend and you Roger are not far behind him for bringing him to our attention! Great story, one of the best. Terry in Melbourne, Australia, a self-confessed car nut who just happens to like motorcycles too, though I've never owned one!!!
