Set on the cusp of the 19th century in Delhi before the British ruled in that region, the drama depicts the fortunes of the residents of Beecham House, an imposing mansion surrounded by acres of exotic woods and pristine lawns. Tom Bateman (Vanity Fair, Jekyll and Hyde) takes the role of enigmatic, soulful John Beecham, a handsome former soldier who has purchased the magnificent mansion, Beecham House, to begin a new life with his family. Wealthy and distinguished, John has witnessed profiteering and exploitation during his time with the controlling East India Company and has resolved to conduct his business as a trader in a more equitable manner. Determined to escape his previous life, John appears haunted by his past, but is inspired to become an honourable member of the region’s trading community. In spite of John’s good intentions his life is shrouded in mystery and when he arrives at the house with an ‘olive-skinned‘ child named August and two Indian nursemaids, Chanchal (Shriya Pilgaonkar) and Maya (Trupti Khamkar), it causes speculation and gossip amongst the servants that he may be the boy’s father. One of the Indian nursemaids, the beautiful Chanchal, is overly protective and particularly fond of the child. Could she be John’s lover and the mother of August? Lesley Nicol (Downton Abbey) is John’s robust, interfering mother Henrietta who has travelled from England to India to stay with her son. She is accompanied by a young family friend Violet, played by Bessie Carter (Les Miserables) who she is determined to help form a union with John. The pair are accompanied by an old friend of John’s, Samuel Parker, played by Marc Warren (Safe, Hustle) who has also left the East India Company and has returned to India for a fresh start. Samuel helps John to find his brother Daniel who he has not seen for 10 years. John convinces Daniel, Leo Suter, (Victoria) to leave the East India Company and join him at Beecham House. Gregory Fitoussi (Mr Selfridge, Spiral) plays General Castillon, a French mercenary working for the Emperor at a time when the French are challenging the East India Company for India. Castillon is suspicious of John and his motives and conspires to stop John being granted a trading licence. Adil Ray (Citizen Khan, Ackley Bridge) is John’s neighbour Murad Beg who dislikes General Castillon intensely and agrees to help John secure a trading licence. Murad’s daughter, Roshanara, (Kanika Kapur) has an English governess Margaret Osborne, played by Dakota Blue Richards (Endeavour) whose beauty and intelligence catches John’s attention. However, when beautiful Chandrika (Pallavi Sharda) arrives at Beecham House with her entourage she is shown to luxurious guest quarters and immediately insists on seeing August. What secrets does Chandrika bring with her to Beecham House?
影片在故事的呈現上非常保守，成功總是出現在不斷的失敗之後，不管過程中遇到到多大的挫折，淚水與汗水滴了多少，結局一定是一面面金牌在等著他。
整体剧情节奏有点奇怪，但是演员演技很好，尤其小时候那段妈妈崩溃的戏一下子就让人看哭，还是原音最能打动人。
完成度很高，特別是在電影上映在這樣一個時間節點，可謂天時地利人和。吳君如的表演說服力很強，影后預定，故事的脈絡也很清晰，有好幾個鏡頭我都很喜歡。但個人感覺配樂可以適當減少，而且我一直在等媽媽會如何處理弟弟的尿急問題，誰知道就這樣帶過了，蠻可惜的，雖然偉拿第一枚獎牌我也很激動，但我的情緒重心更多在弟弟的尿急上，如果不處理的話還不如不提。我喜歡電影在人物的善惡上沒有刻意塑造一個完美的母親或奧運冠軍，而是展現他們所會犯的錯誤和他們的有限，這才是人的故事。
感動慘！吳君如真的可以搏多個影后 男主角也拍得很似！
没想到这部电影拍得还挺扎实的，剧本写得很好，细节也都抓得很到位，因为看的是粤语版，更觉得台词写得接地气，没有一句大话空话，而且无论是妈妈的心态、苏桦伟自己的心态也都呈现的多角度，很丰满，也没有忽视妈妈的一些过错，比如对弟弟的关心不够，比如安排儿子接广告的小小贪心，因此妈妈这个角色非常立体，当然张继聪的教练角色也很不错，包括扮演大小苏桦伟的演员，以及几个同为残障选手的队员，演员们都演绎得出乎意料的好，看下来还真的蛮感动的，毕竟是真人真事啊
可以看得出着重在了家庭，主角与母亲的共同成长到成功的点点滴滴，各种温情，悲伤的情节配上音乐的确很打动人。可惜剧本为了营造戏剧冲突，后面有些过于强行，整体节奏也比较流水账，剧情水到渠成。
如果不是因为观影活动，真的很难狠下心让自己去电影院看这样一部电影，因为生活已经很惨了。我的朋友秀仔最近在看特奥会（还是残奥会？），她说真的看得非常难过。我在年纪很小的时候，一度因为这种难过而许愿世界上不要再有任何残疾人，现在则会许愿盲道好走一点，残疾人的就业渠道通畅一点，我也试着力所能及地帮助他们。这是一部励志体育片，是一部让我们能更加体会到生之艰难的电影，粤语对白很棒，值得为它走进电影院。扣一星是因为我不太喜欢完美英雄和过度的煽情，道理我懂，但很不人性。
小时候担心长不大，长大担心不能融入社会，还怕老了没人照顾他，一辈子都得生活在这种惶恐中。
这部电影有感人、有诙谐、有励志也有无奈，可以说是十分真实。而且在看这部电影的时候，我不禁几次在想，一位残障人士都能够成为奥运冠军，对于我们这些普通人该是多么大的讽刺和鼓舞。天分固然重要，但是专一的努力却更加重要。我想对于苏桦伟来说，跑步、跑得更快已经成为了他人生仅剩的目标，而当这目标唯一时，世界都会为努力者让路。
标准式的传记片套路。足够独特的题材会让电影层次变得非常丰富，当如此丰富元素被一一展现出来的时候，传记片已经超越主要人物而变得更具有社会面了吧。而回到主要呈现的人物上，用个体间私人情感这个全人类的通感做为主要动力来推动剧情，具体发挥看下来是，用的贴切但并算不得顺畅。
全部人都唔认为你系一个普通人，你就做一个唔普通嘅人！！！
前面一个小时，特别好看，剪指甲这件事情简直就是戳到我的泪点
二十多年苏妈的脸没啥变化，张继聪的老年妆又很到位，所以这是啥设定。少年和青年两位演员真的很棒，新生代了不起，希望以后继续看到。还有老baby钱小豪又是出现在花絮时间长过正片……这次很遗憾影院没有排原声场次，哭泣。
2.5星。国语配音严重劝退，吴君如不知道是不是动过脸了，特别像董明珠，表情不太自然。不刻意伟光正，展现了主人公和母亲作为普通人的一面，但硬加了很多bgm和滤镜大搞渲染把剧情捣碎了，真人真事拉回来点分
体育励志的人生，残疾人士的奋斗拼搏！改编真人真事，残奥会金牌获得者苏桦伟！“运动员一时的辉煌不代表永恒！”很真实啊！吴君如不搞笑还真有点不习惯！
我们这不缺好的电影素材，有太多的人物值得用电影去介绍。有不错的亮点，有不错的台词，但整体还稍欠火候。现在看不得这类电影，一看就哭得稀里哗啦，加一点感情分。祝全天下的妈妈母亲节快乐！
妈:阿伟你残废是天生的，人们不会怪你，只会怪我啫
因为他有个神奇妈妈
用力哭不如用力跑
生了弟弟是为照顾哥哥，生活拮据是为了让哥哥能一直跑步，生活的一切重心都为了哥哥。
