The Loneliness of the Long Distance Runner

A rebellious young offender enters a reformatory after robbing a bakery. There, his talent for long-distance running earns him special attention and a chance to compete against a privileged school, while memories of his troubled home life deepen his conflict with authority and society.

My take

You’ll like this if you enjoy gritty British social dramas such as Saturday Night and Sunday Morning, but Not for you if you prefer upbeat stories, clear-cut heroes, or fast-paced sports films.
