This energetic documentary takes an adoring look at Olympic sprinting champion Usain Bolt.

If Bolt's talent continues to defy all explanation, the Turner brothers bring us close enough to it to witness bugs swarming over nerveless knuckles on the start line.

The trade-off for this access is a reverential attitude and no in-depth questions. It's a deal I found easy to accept, given the film's endearing footage of Bolt at work and play.

There's not a dull moment in sight.

It's not the most probing doco, but the man himself, mobbed wherever he goes, emerges as a genuinely charismatic, likeable individual.

I Am Bolt teaches you nothing at all other than that he's a nice guy, and possibly the greatest track athlete of all time.

A thrilling and warm documentary of a young man whose name is already in the history books.

Almost as engaging as the man himself.

At times, I Am Bolt makes for very rousing viewing. However, there is a dispiriting sense here that the filmmakers don't have full control of their own movie.
