Review
Racing legend Peter Brock was known all over Australia as "The King of the Mountain" and "Peter Perfect". However, his life was far from perfect as those closest knew him of his inner turmoils and hunger to win and for fame. I've never reviewed a feature-length documentary except for Michael Jackson's This Is It, but I'm willing to watch this one in theatres since it was re-opened amidst the COVID-19 crisis. Years before, I had barely heard of Peter Brock until he died in a rally car accident, which I had listened to on the radio. I'm not a big Brock fan because of his partnership with Holden, as I am a proud Ford supporter. BROCK: OVER THE TOP was an introspective look at the famous Aussie race car driver on how he gained ten consecutive wins at Mount Panorama and his business deals with Holden.

BROCK: OVER THE TOP was an introspective look at the famous Aussie race car driver on how he gained ten consecutive wins at Mount Panorama and his business deals with Holden.
Director Kriv Stenders may not have made a biopic about Peter Brock, but he clearly examined the facts of his personal life and put it together in this kind of documentary. This film deals well with sensitive issues, particularly his troubled marriage with Michelle Downes, his relationships with Bev and Julie and his fallout with Holden over the Energy Polariser.
BROCK: OVER THE TOP is a must-see film that will attract fans for his life story. If you're a fan of Peter Brock or want to know more, this documentary is for you.
Star rating: (8/10) Very Good Movie
