Review

A gentle and unchallenging film by the highly uneven Australian filmmaker Roger Donaldson. Anthony Hopkins embodies the ageing nature of his character; he drives Burt Munro forward (literally) with his strong, film-carrying performance. There's charm and wisdom in Burt's existence, and the film aims for a soulful timelessness reminiscent of Paolo Coelho's work: it embraces and romanticizes our dreams and our willingness to pursue them. It's all predictably pleasant, telling the story of a man who is remarkable in a rather unremarkable way, but it's a film filled with positivity and warmth that makes it a refreshing tribute to life.
