Synopsis
Fast Girls (2012) is a British sports drama directed by Regan Hall — watch it online on iFILM. Lily James and Lenora Crichlow head a cast that also includes Rupert Graves and Bradley James.
Shania is a working-class runner from a South London estate. Lisa trains with private coaches and expects results to come easy. Both are chasing a spot on the British relay team for the World Championships, and the film does not pretend their differences dissolve the moment they put on matching kit. Their friction is the engine of the story, and it earns whatever resolution it eventually reaches.
Released in 2012, the same year London hosted the Olympics, the film caught a genuine wave of national feeling around track and field. It also caught Lily James before most audiences knew who she was. Lean, quick, and honest about class in the way British sports films sometimes manage to be. Stream Fast Girls (2012) on iFILM.
