100 Metres review
A 35-year-old man diagnosed with multiple sclerosis vows to complete an Ironman triathlon. It's surprising just how enduring the triumph over debilitating adversity sub-genre is: there's nothing new about Marcel Barrena's movie, but it's impossible not to find a lump in your throat while watching the final act. Ironically, the dramatic/emotional impact is blunted by inserts of the real Ramon (100 Metros is based on a true story) which expose the liberties Barrena takes with the truth. Winning performances from Dani Rovira, Alexandra Jimenez and (especially) Karra Elejalde, who has something of Eli Wallach about himscore /10
