Kipchoge: The Last Milestone is a cinematic portrait of world record marathon holder Eliud Kipchoge as he prepares to break one of the last milestones in sporting history: the sub-two hour marathon. It follows his journey from his training grounds in Kenya, to the high-tech facilities in Europe, to his record attempt in Vienna. His motto: no human is limited. The film also takes a personal look at the athlete with footage from Kipchoge's home in Kenya, interviews with those closest to him, the daily rituals of his life and the dynamics within his team and community.

The athleticism, physics and what one person calls the "bit of ballet" of the event are all stirring to witness.

While there is no doubt that Kipchoge's story is inspiring (even if the ending is known), the film is oddly underwhelming.... It might be more thrilling to just watch Kipchoge run for two hours than watch "Kipchoge."

Indeed, it's the behind-the-scenes elements of Jake Scott's documentary which makes it such an interesting film.

An overproduced documentary about an overproduced event.

Great feats, such as a sub 2 hr marathon, are about more than the individual. I liked the poise and tone of this documentary that focussed as much on this as the man at the middle. If this doesn't inspire you to lace up your joggers and get out there, I don't know what will!

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

No human is limited! This film follows Eliud Kipchoge in his history-making marathon where he broke the barrier of a 2-hour marathon. It shows all the behind-the-scenes both of the team and Eluid unique and inspiring mindset. Be prepared to cry and be inspired that you too can push yourself to accomplish things you never thought you could if you accept the pain and do the work. Well worth the watch and every cent I spent on it.
