Caveat- I do ride bikes. I fell in love with this movie. There are pre-existing Hollywood films I won't mention by name that I think influenced this piece, but this one is the killer, this one felt real. Haven't fallen in love with a movie in such a long time, TY film-maker 🙏

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

Best biking movie I've seen. Riding bikes is a passion, Julia is passionate but also competitive, as are all good bikers. This film is about learning to compete and becoming at least equal and wanting to be accepted by those more cool. But she is far more comfortable being an outsider.

Wendy Ide

Observer (UK)

While it doesn’t entirely work, the film is as fearless and in-your-face as its formidable central character.

Rated: 4/5

Times (UK)

[Julie Ledru] brings to the role the sad eyes of Jeanne Moreau, the swaggering insouciance of Béatrice Dalle and the saddle skills of Evel Knievel. The film around her, though, has frequent dramatic lapses...

Rated: 3/5

A very difficult film, but a slice of life I didn't know before.

Cool People Have Feelings, Too. (Substack)

While I liked its visuals, I wasn’t completely sold by its narrative.

Quivoron's instincts are undeniable when balancing technical ferocity with a remarkable narrative heart... [Full review in Spanish]

Javier Ocaña

El Pais (Spain)

One of those films in which, to put it bluntly, very little happens and the story relies on its message and the environment's realism. And both things are good, but not enough to hook you. [Full review in Spanish]
