The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.

Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.

Actress is magnificent and exudes a hypnotic screen presence in this affecting drama.
Billy Ollie
Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

This film documents the journey that is completing the Vermont 100 ultra-marathon for ultra-runner Zak. He tries three years in a row and "does not finish" (DNF) the first two years. The training, the physical preparation, the mental preparation, and the pure guts and grit are all perfectly captured and communicated in this film. If you're an ultra-marathoner it will likely hit home. If not, it might just inspire you to become one. Running 100 miles will break the human body down so completely and so thoroughly that nothing more than heart and mind can take you to the finish. This is by far one of my favorite "test of the human spirit" documentaries.
