Robert Abele Los Angeles Times 04/14/2016
A slapdash tribute too humdrum to ever whip up a truly inspirational froth. Go to Full Review
Simon Abrams Village Voice 04/01/2016
The film ... makes Marinoni sound generically obsessive and maddeningly inaccessible. Go to Full Review
Daniel M. Gold New York Times 03/31/2016
For all the access he grants, Mr. Marinoni is not very open. It's left to his fans to attest to his bikes' superior quality - and his cranky ways. Go to Full Review
Diane Carson KDHX (St. Louis) 08/29/2017
Director Tony Girardin's Marinoni: The Fire in the Frame captures Marinoni in all his passionate, cantankerous, and eccentric complexity. Go to Full Review
David Noh Film Journal International 04/01/2016
Another remarkable senior gets the spotlight in this wonderful, inspiriting doc about a legend of the cycling world. Go to Full Review
Ken Eisner Georgia Straight 03/29/2016
This generally pleasurable doc is a little wonky in presenting that chronology, but you eventually piece together his story. And it certainly succeeds as a study in obsession. Go to Full Review

05/04/2016 Tremendous film about a man continually inspired to achieve his best! See more 05/03/2016 Highly recommend this movie...honest, funny, inspirational and an original unpolished piece of true Canadian sports history. Confirms that Mr. Marinoni raised the bar for both the art of building race bicycles and senior competitive cyclists. See more 04/21/2016 A really wonderful story and character study. AND it ain't about the bike! It's about the people. Worth seeking out! See more Read all reviews
