"Obree is excellently played by Jonny
Lee Miller ... We recommend everybody takes the time to see this film."
David Arthur, RoadCyclingUK
"Director
Douglas Mackinnon makes the move from TV to feature film with some style to
make this an enjoyable and well crafted film. Jonny Lee Miller delivers a
powerful performance as Graeme Obree; his genuine commitment the role is
evident throughout." Kevin Stanley, Eye for Film
Variety reports "Trade magazine Treffpunkt
Kino called "The Flying Scotsman" "a winner," praising topliner Johnny Lee
Miller for a "charismatic, terrific performance."
"Miller
works tirelessly as the hag-ridden cyclist, but Boyd, as his manager and
long-time pal, and Fraser as his upbeat wife, are just as good, and
contribute much to the warmth of character that leaves a lump in the
throat at the end."
David Quinlan, PicturesThatTalk.com
"Mackinnon’s direction allows the characters in THE FLYING SCOTSMAN to
shine; Miller convincingly portrays a complex character for whom nothing
comes simply and nothing can be taken for granted. Imbued with emotional
resonance and offering a loving tribute to both Scotland and the world of
cycling, THE FLYING SCOTSMAN has something for everyone."

"Rather than checking into Hostel II,
enjoy the brevity of Shrek.
Better still, get on
your bike" (Our highlighting-
no apologies!)
Mark Kermode, The Observer
"I'm delighted to report...a small British triumph…Jonny Lee Miller in
easily his most intelligent screen performance to date…A thoroughly
involving story." Christopher Tookey, Daily Mail.
Daily Record -
Saturday Plus At the Movies - "A triumph over adversity classic"
Mark Kermode, BBC Radio Five Live "The nice
thing about it is....it's just one of those kind of good old fashioned
....decent kind of movies about ordinary people doing something slightly
extraordinary and therefore becoming better as a result of it."
out of 4 "This film is a real winner. GO SEE."
Johnny Vaughan, The Sun
Viewlondon.co.uk "The Flying Scotsman is a
superbly acted, emotionally engaging and ultimately uplifting drama that
tells a fascinating true story. Recommended." Matthew Turner
Time Out "... the film has a pleasant feel-good factor
tempered by moments of melancholy. Given the budgetary restraints, feature
debutant Douglas Mackinnon’s made a fine fist of a great little underdog
story." Derek Adams - Source : Time Out London Issue
