The documentary introduces the viewer to cyclist Lloyd Taylor. Through his clarity of thought and the honesty in its expression, Taylor paints an entire canvas of an athlete’s journey.
From the resultant loneliness and isolation, to the deep meaning and sense of purpose that can be found there - the whole portrait is presented to the viewer. The film achieves all of this with seamlessness in terms of storytelling and screenplay. It remains true to everything it wishes to convey. By way of a sleek edit, its background score, and distinctly stylistic choices, it brings to life energy and an upbeatness fitting for a film that has an athlete as its subject.
The result is marked by a beautiful visual progression. The storytelling remains tight and crisp, bolstered by Taylor's lucid and undiminished voice. At the heart of it all, there is a sense of hope as well as comfort to be found in a journey that is not devoid of its obstacles, but if offered single-minded dedication, is also one that turns out to be immensely rewarding.
