Rotoscoping lowkey uncanny, which creeped me out a bit. Super solid tho. Ending was great. Side characters meh.

If you have a spark in you for something, you owe it to yourself to be turned into ashes by it. 

Stellar animation, crisp sound design and some of the best dialogue I have seen in a minute. I’m a big rotoscoping fan (smiling friends viewer) so I was having a blast at the sequences. Some of the race sequences are just a work of art.

I love running, I’m not a serious runner by any stretch of the imagination. But there’s something about being at your limit, reaching for what you think is a better version of you, the mental gymnastics you do when your lungs are on fire to tell yourself why you do what you do. I can relate to that, I have at times condensed my entire existence into the best time I could do for a 5k or 10k run. Hoping for a revelation.

This movie doesn’t ask you who you are when you win, that’s not what it’s about. It asks you to confront who you are when you lose. 

If you’re gonna miss the bus, miss it running.

It's never just a "sport", and that's the beauty of it. Having to feel all these emotions will forever be the best part of being an athlete. The film reminded me how I miss it all, wishing to go back in time just to compete once again. Overall, a fantastic, well-animated film. Loved the bittersweet ending ❤️
