You don't to be into race car driving to be into this movie

Rating: 8/10 (28 November 2019)

I didn't think that I liked race car driving... until I saw this! The first half of the movie is interesting, but not as gripping as the second half. The first half focuses more on the business aspects of how Ford wanted to remake their image and ended up in an intense rivalry with Ferrari to make the best race car (and win an acclaimed 24 hour race). The second half feels more like a traditional sports movie, with the emotional pay-offs and suspense and heartache and twists and turns. You don't have to be into sports cars or be a fan of race car driving (I'm not) to appreciate this movie. The performances by Matt Damon and Christian Bale were superb as usual.
