Review of Fast Girls (2012) by David S — 27 Jan 2013

The film is totally predictable and was obviously made to cash in on Olympic fever last year but I still enjoyed the story of a working-class runner making good on the International circuit. No cliche is avoided along the way but the cast are likeable (plenty of known British face to enjoy, especially from TV) and they actually look like they are competing athletes which heightens the drama.

I got swept along by the end and was smiling at the final finish line. Not great British film-making but still enjoyable.,.
