CGiii Comment

Strange...a film about a gay man without ever mentioning the fact that he's gay. A mad endeavour to retain the family audience?!?

Obree's homosexuality is not even hinted at - but, those who can spot the signs, will catch on rather quickly.

Who would have thought that the 'cycling professional body' could be such utter bastards?!?

An entertaining portrait - it just doesn't seem to be very accurate - because, it does not address the crux of the matter - SEXUALITY.
