Since his last world record he has faced and survived many challenges in his personal life. The father of two sons in their twenties he is now happy to have discovered his own sexuality, after many years of turmoil. This is a warm and entertaining observational documentary.

His sense of fun and humour is never far away and often comes through in the darkest moments.

Movie Reviews

Total Film - 6/10 by Neil SmithA David-Goliath battle that keeps us invested, for all the film's circuitous longueurs and a score that seeks to steer our emotions rather than stir them.
Observer (UK) - 6/10 by Jonathan RomneyIt's an engaging watch, and Street's own camera work provides attractive polish.
Daily Mail (UK) - 6/10 by Brian VinerEven though Obree does not emerge from this absorbing (if overlong) documentary as someone you would necessarily want as a mate, it is impossible not to root for him.
Guardian - 6/10 by Wendy IdeLike the Beastie, this film never quite picks up speed, but it is certainly a more enjoyable ride.
Time Out - 6/10 by Cath ClarkeFollows Obree's attempt to break the human land-speed record on a machine he built with bits of old rollerblades and saucepans.
The Mail on Sunday (UK) - 6/10 by Matthew BondA fascinating and quietly revealing portrait of a man who, by his own admission, is unbalanced, obsessional and battles depression, yet still likes nothing more than jumping on his bike and riding it as fast as he can.
