| We can't say it any better than Wendy Mitchell from Indiewire: Of all the films I saw during my long weekend in Vail (the festival ran April 1-4), my favorite was "Red Light Go," a stylish and energetic documentary about New York City bike messengers. This doc, which premiered in December at MoMA's Documentary Fortnight, enters the subculture of a tight-knit group of bike messengers in New York City as they discuss their livelihood and also compete in street "Alleycat" races. This well-done doc puts a human face on a group of folks that are usually ignored (or maligned). Frantic scenes of a Halloween Alleycat race were particularly thrilling. |

| I always wanted to be a bike messenger but now know I don't have the balls for it. That revelation came fairly quickly into screening this documentary about the bike messenger community in New York City. Sure, their jobs are dangerously harrowing, but it's what the bikers do in their off-hours that makes them borderline sociopaths. Instead of icing their wounds, or silently rocking back and forth in the corner (which is what I'd be doing), they compete in alleycat races in and around Manhattan on certain New York holidays, like Independence Day and Hitler's birthday. The races are the main focus of Go, culminating in the big Halloween race – designed by an imprisoned messenger – which takes riders on a pentagram-shaped course through the busiest parts of the city...during rush hour. Lots of fun, unless you're one of those bike-hating cab drivers. | ||
