Wendy Ide

Observer (UK)

Most interesting for the insight it gives into the ugly, elitist attitudes in Formula One.

Rated: 3/5

Peter Bradshaw

Guardian

There's a fascination and poignancy to this gripping sports documentary, about someone who deserves a kind of legendary status for the way he didn't become a legend.

Geoffrey Macnab

Independent (UK)

[Byrne is] an excellent subject for a film - full of colourful anecdotes about his excesses and brattish behaviour but perplexed and pained by his own failure

Rated: 3/5

Film Ireland Magazine

This documentary is not just a sport film, this is a character portrait of a man's struggles to come to terms with a career that has passed.
