One Day Ahead

About This Movie

So, 'One Day Ahead' is this intriguing documentary that follows a group of eight Kiwi amateur cyclists who decide to ride the 2018 Tour de France a day before the pros. It’s got that raw, gritty vibe, you know? The pacing ebbs and flows as we get a mix of their struggles, triumphs, and the relentless spirit of cycling. The film’s atmosphere is very much about camaraderie and the sheer grit it takes to tackle such a grueling race. There's a nice juxtaposition of their amateur enthusiasm against the backdrop of professional racing. Some moments feel almost documentary-style intimate. The practical effects are mostly just the reality of the ride itself, no frills, just pure effort. Definitely a different take on the cycling doc genre, worth a watch if you're into the sport.
