Fans of Usain Bolt will find much to relish in this gushing homage to the nine-time Olympic gold medallist, which chases its idol from his 2015 slump, via scenes of downtime in Jamaica to the podium in Rio. Along the way we meet his parents, his obligatory grizzled coach and his best friend, NJ, who (perhaps tellingly) serves as the film’s co-producer and whose duties extend to tasting Bolt’s food. Could there, God forbid, be some scandal or mess in the wings; anything that might complicate our sense of a peerless athlete with the world at his feet? If so, we aren’t shown it. Bolt sets the pace and this documentary, it seems, is happy to follow his lead.
