The Last Rider

Even if the film falls shy of the maillot jaune, it’s a plucky competitor and a welcome antidote to the scandals that have rocked the sport.

This is a very interesting film because it's about a very interesting subject... As a documentary it's very conventionally made, but it's a very stirring portrait of a very inspirational guy.

Kathy tells this complex, harrowing story in a way that’s poignant, propulsive and unforgettable.

It’s a conventional documentary, but a quality one. Spectacular archive footage from the event captures an inescapable sense of excitement and interviews with LeMond and his wife, Kathy, are unexpectedly affecting.

More compelling than any sports movie fiction.

An engaging, efficient race to the finish line.

The Last Rider is everything this kind of film can be—its hook is courage and hard work that pays off, its mode of storytelling is personal, intimate interviews, and its framework is a "modern hero" kind of narrative.

This insightful and inspiring documentary shines a deserving spotlight on LeMond and his accomplishments.

At the time of writing, LeMond remains the only American to ever win cycling's most prestigious race, but it's what he had to overcome outside of the sport that really grabs the attention.

The film does for cycling what Senna did for auto-racing. It’s a thrilling and precisely edited archival adventure.
