Reaction: Apparently a drama about competitive cycling doesn't equal box office gold. We at the studio were hoping that the star power of someone like Emma Stone would help make up for the lesser marketability of the subject matter.
"On paper this should have been an easy success, but there's just something off-putting about Emma Stone's lead character. She is cold and unrelatable, which makes us in the audience care less about what happens to her in the end." - Richard Park, Globe and Mail
"Melanie Laurent and Mo Buck's film has a very real feel to it. Laurent shows she may have a very real directorial career ahead of her, while Buck once again imbues his story with characters who act in a realistically emotional manner." - Adam Carpenter, St. Louis Post-Dispatch
"This fairly standard sports drama is thankfully anchored by strong performances from Stone, Baldwin and Mendelsohn. The plot telegraphs itself a bit too much, leading to predictability." - Manny Duncan, San Antonio Express-News
