Excellent!

Rating: 9/10 (16 November 2019)

Christian Bale and Matt Damon are two of the most talented actors working today, so my level of anticipation was high for "Ford v Ferrari." I'm happy to say that the movie doesn't disappoint: it's an engrossing, emotional drama that held me on the edge of my seat throughout all of its 152 minutes. "Ford v Ferrari" takes an obscure true life story and turns it into a heart wrenching and thought provoking tale of friendship, creativity, ego, corporate politics, and human ingenuity. I knew little about the facts behind "Ford v Ferrari" before walking into the theater, but afterwards I couldn't get enough of reading about the real characters portrayed so well by Damon and Bale. In "Ford v Ferrari" these two are in top form: Damon's charisma and Bale's quirky genius spark amazing chemistry that carries the entire movie.
This movie is masterfully directed by James Mangold: the cinematography is awe-inspiring and the racing sequences are among the best I've ever seen. As a filmmaking achievement, "Ford v Ferrari" is outstanding. I do have a couple of problems with the movie: certain elements of the plot were predictable, and a few scenes here and there weren't fully developed so it was somewhat difficult to understand what'd just happened. But these are only minor flaws with the script that are outweighed by great performances, beautiful cinematography, and terrific racing sequences that should set the standard for future racing movies. 8/10.
