My wife and I went to the showing at the Tribeca film festival. Being a cyclist fan, I liked the film and especially the footage. I did not like the direction and many of the interviews. It will be interesting to see how it is received by other forum members.

The best part of the showing was that Lemond was there and took a couple of questions from the audience. It seemed like he really enjoyed answering questions and would have for hours if they allowed him. But, they had to give time to the director and eventually kick us out for the next film.

book was a page turner for me
a little lemond bias but that could be because Bernard is a bit tough to crack and is not too candid in interviews for the book or the movie

book and the movie together are a good combo
