Review
A
gentle and unchallenging film by the highly uneven Australian filmmaker
Roger Donaldson. Anthony Hopkins lives the ageing nature of his
character, he is driving Burt Munro forward (literally) to a strong,
film-carrying performance. There's charm and wisdom in the existence of
Burt, and the film has a timeless soul reminiscent of Paolo Coelho's work:
it embraces and romanticizes our dreams and our willingness to pursue
them. It is all predictably pleasant, telling the story of a man who
is remarkable in not a very remarkable way, but it is a film filled with
a positivity and warmth that makes it a refreshing tribute to life.
