Crash and Burn Ratings & Reviews
Irish Independent
Paul Whitington
An engaging Irish documentary about the all-too-brief Formula One career of Drogheda driver Tommy Byrne.
Total Film
Matt Looker
Detailing his flair on the track and partying off it, this compellingly explores the question: did he ruin his own chance of greatness, or did others deliberately stall him?
One Room With A View
Phil W. Bayles
A fascinating look at a legend that almost was.
Film Ireland Magazine
Aoife O'Neil
This documentary is not just a sport film, this is a character portrait of a man's struggles to come to terms with a career that has passed.
Daily Express (UK)
Allan Hunter
The film gives a clear sense of Byrne's colourful personality and his ability to annoy the wrong people.
The Arts Desk
Adam Sweeting
[Crash and Burn] puts vivid flesh on the story's bones with a plentiful stash of archive footage, a colourful bunch of talking heads, and plenty of opinionated input from Byrne himself.
Film Ireland Magazine
Seán Crosson
Whether you have an interest in Formula One or not, Crash and Burn is an engaging, and at times moving account of an extraordinary life.
Guardian
Peter Bradshaw
There's a fascination and poignancy to this gripping sports documentary, about someone who deserves a kind of legendary status for the way he didn't become a legend.
Independent (UK)
Geoffrey Macnab
[Byrne is] an excellent subject for a film - full of colourful anecdotes about his excesses and brattish behaviour but perplexed and pained by his own failure
Irish Times
Donald Clarke
A great yarn. A great education.
Observer (UK)
Wendy Ide
Most interesting for the insight it gives into the ugly, elitist attitudes in Formula One.
