There’s nothing challenging about this documentary. And maybe documentary isn’t the best description of what amounts to a fairly straightforward celebration of the subject. But John Williams has arguably scored so much of my childhood, teen years, and even adulthood—as he has for many others—sometimes a celebration is just what you need.

The Barkley Marathons: The Race That Eats Its Young 2014
The quality of the editing during this documentary about what I suppose could be considered the most ultra of ultramarathons is a bit spotty. The interviews with “Lazarus”—one of the races founders—have noticeable visual hiccups that betray that the interview was cut that I think could have been handled better. Those same interviews seem to have redundant information at times as well.
That said, despite that this was one of the most riveting documentaries I’ve ever seen. The characters and personalities are great, and I enjoyed “meeting” them over this brisk 90 minutes giver or take.
