Reviews for Heart Like a Wheel
A solid entry in the overcoming-great-odds-to-become-a-champion biopic.
This charming movie further expanded the roles allotted to women, chronicling the career of Muldowney (splendidly played by Bonnie Badelia), the only race driver (male or female) to have won three times the National Hot Rod Association World Championship
A spunky, well-crafted movie about the first woman to succeed in big-time drag racing
