NW B From the first few seconds Indy Saini's wonderful movie grabs your attention as you metaphorically get right there on the ride with her and for the next 75 minutes she expertly navigates you through the culture of women who love motorcycles. It takes a special kind of director to illicit the vulnerability and sometimes heartbreaking honesty from her many and varied woman interviewees each of whom has unique and deeply personal reasons for their common passion for bikes. However, this documentary is also a masterclass in DIY filmmaking and the throughline of this story is Saini's own journey around America, alone on her Indian Scout, braving the elements, to get the story on video. In the process, she deftly subverts the Icarian narrative of self-destruction that we subconsciously attach to stories of men and motorcycles. Under her careful control, like Daedalus and his wax wings, the motorcycle is a life-affirming means to freedom and empowerment. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/25/23 Full Review Kyle S This documentary, Women in the Front Seat is a fascinating look at the world of motorcycle riding and some of the women who are a part of it. At the start of the movie, the filmmaker herself sets out to ride across the United States on a motorcycle. Her journey is mixed with the stories of different female motorcyclists from all over. The amount of interesting stories and personalities captured in this film is amazing. The cinematography in this movie is excellent. I was particularly impressed by the amount of epic drone footage that was captured for this film, specifically. There is also an inspirational aspect to this movie also, as it will make you want to get out there and try things you've always wanted to do (even if motorcycle riding isn't one of them). Give the one one a watch, it is worth your time! Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 04/06/23 Full Review Julian H Great visuals and an inspirational story. Not just for someone who loves motorcycles, but learning the inspiration behind women that ride, overcome challenges, and share the joy of the ride is incredible. As someone who does enjoy motorcycles, seeing the journey of these riders and how they overcome the crashes and broken bones, but never a broken spirit of the ride. The variety in the stories let the viewer connect with each rider, their individual story and their collective trials were something to remember. Great job by the team responsible for this project. It was a well done documentary!. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/06/23 Full Review Catherane S This is an excellent film with a heart. It was riveting to watch as each woman in this documentary revealed her inner most truth. Though differing in backgrounds, ages, and experiences, the common denominator was their passion for motorcycles and what they overcame to do what they love. Their openness was like looking into their souls, very inspiring and a gift to be privy to their life journeys. So many fascinating women like Rosie and Mere and Wendy and all of them really. It made me think about how many people don't follow whatever their passion is and perhaps never live their lives to the fullest. Indy Saini has made an inspirational and artistic documentary. The photography, music, and the editing are first rate. Whether or not you are a motorcyclist, this film should not be missed. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/06/23 Full Review Doggie Dream Productions stumbled across this film and took a chance. And I'm so glad I did! This is a really good documentary, and you don't necessarily have to be a motorcycle enthusiast to enjoy it. There's a lot here that appealed to me. Maybe something about all our pandemic routines and staying home more made the adventure pf hitting the open road really awesome. Plus, I've always gravitated to strong women. And these women are strong, cool and just plain inspiring. The film, which is really well shot, takes you beyond "biker chick" stereotypes to reveal the diverse and interesting women who ride, compete, and live their lives fully... on and off their bikes. I thought it was all great! Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/06/23 Full Review Rick I Talk about a vibe movie. If you're in the mood for something light and inspiring, look no further. There's not much conflict here, or drama, or worry. What you WILL find instead is a huge group of people throwing you on the back of their bikes and taking you on a tour of the passion that ties them all together. Look, I'm a mid-30s guy, I've never ridden a motorcycle. But I still found the glimpse into this subculture fascinating. Footage of long trips through various locales is so romantic it hurts.
