William Bibbiani TheWrap It’s a great sports movie about the urge to be great at sports, and it’s one of the smartest movies the genre has produced in a long time. Oct 11, 2025 Full Review Jacob Oller AV Club Like the distance its sprinters dash over and over again, it’s predictable—even mundane at times. But also like those short bursts of all-out adrenaline, it can be transcendent in the moment. Rated: B Oct 9, 2025 Full Review Steven Nguyen Scaife Slant Magazine To get to the primal thrill of racing, Iwaisawa Kenji uses just about every technique at his disposal. Rated: 3/4 Oct 6, 2025 Full Review Casey Chong Casey's Movie Mania Kenji Iwaisawa’s engrossing rotoscoping animated feature of Uoto’s manga series explores the existential depth of sprinting. Rated: 4/5 Oct 23, 2025 Full Review Christie Cronan Common Sense Media In its heartfelt sprint toward self-discovery, this gritty, inspiring sports story is both gripping and visually dynamic. Rated: 4/5 Oct 22, 2025 Full Review Elijah Gonzalez Paste Magazine We watch these runners grapple with the exaltation and absurdities of basing their entire existence around running 100 meters in a straight line, each bump in the road portrayed with dynamic, shifting animation. Rated: 8.7/10 Oct 20, 2025 Full Review Read all reviews

MS Great film! Script/Story & Artwork! I want to watch again! Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 10/15/25 Full Review Michael L Loved the film! The rotoscoping animation style threw me off a bit, but I'd like to think it's because they wanted to capture the kinetic motion of an actual sprinter in action. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 10/15/25 Full Review Philip K Cried tears of joy at the end. This movie hit me on such a personal level with everything I have been through and where my life is at right now. 10/10. 5 stars. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/15/25 Full Review mark its fun and simple got me motivated for my next workout Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/15/25 Full Review Michael Really interesting and engaging story. I thought the animation was well done and looked beautiful. Worth watching if you're a sports fan or not Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/14/25 Full Review jesse v if you love the manga series, then this movie is for you. if not, then this is just a collection of artistic styles that happen to have a story about track and field and the importance of self reflection in life. The music is the only good part of the movie unfortunately. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 10/14/25 Full Review Read all reviews
