Road

I really enjoyed this portrait of a racing dynasty, it has all the thrills of road racing and you’ll be choking back tears by the end.

I have to say that I know nothing of the bike race world but the raw emotion, courage, tenacity of these men is utterly absorbing. I was hooked from start to the very, very emotional finish. I cannot recommend this movie highly enough; it made me realise what living a life really means.

The best documentary/film I have ever watched, and I’ve watched them all. This had me in tears. An emotional roller coaster! The Dunlops are an amazing family, who certainly have my respect. This is a must buy!

I can just imagine the pressure these fellas felt to live up to the family reputation, but they've done it! This film tells the Dunlop's story and does a great job doing it, very well made. I rented it but wish to purchase now, shame iTunes aren't offering a discounted rate to buy during a rental.

Absolutley amazing ! Have so much respect for the dunlops! Make sure you have a Hankey to hand as its a very emotional documentary / film

A brilliant film documentary have watched it three times already a must watch even if your not a motorbike fan. Grew up watching Joey Dunlop so appreciated every minute of this brilliant film a must watch for all you TT and bike fans. In a nutshell SUPERB!!!

WOW awesome film of the Dunlop family who only know one thing and thats racing !!

I'm writing this as someone who sometimes makes documentary films, has ridden motorbikes for nearly 50 years and who has been to the Isle of Man TT and the Manx Grands Prix a quite a few times. It is really well made, edited and put together. In filmic terms it works well because it has a very simple proposition – comparing two sets of brothers. It also has an extraordinary range of emotion from elation to despair. But crucially it has right at the heart of it, an enigma - why? Riding motorbikes far and fast as I have is one thing but racing them in the way that these guys do is something completely different – it is at another level. Their willingness to face death, the depth of obsession and the sheer ordinariness of the Dunlops all comes across brilliantly well. Fundamentally, these are men who feel most alive right on the edge where there is a very thin line between success and failure. Mountaineering is the same. Although people go on about the number of road racers killed we have to remember that 17 people have died on Everest so far this year, 8 were killed in 2013 and 10 in 2012. Road racing is sometimes billed as "The World's most dangerous sport", it isn't. But it's still dangerous and the film portrays this perfectly. it also shows in a series of poignant interviews the depth of emotion that those in the Dunlop family feel (or those close to it). The fact that it gives them time and space for them to talk about something which is both wonderful and terrible is greatly to the filmmaker's credit. Make no mistake these men, especially the great Joey, are exceptional in a profound way - Joey especially wishing to be known only through his deeds.

Nothing can describe the feeling of being on two wheels, wether it's a motorbike, scooter or whatever. No matter who you are, your past your future. You belong to such a special family. A family where everyone just understands. If that makes sense. 'ROAD' is an enthralling docu/movie of one family & there 'understanding' and love for motorbikes and racing the 'ROAD'.

Watched today, it had my adrenaline going just watching. Gives you a great insight to road racing family the Dunlop's and the rush it gave them and the emotional ending of the two brothers. Not a biker myself but loved this emotional, fantastic, gripping documentary and who better to narrate it than another well known Irish man Liam Neeson.
