Never finds top gear

Rating: 7/10 (19 November 2019)

Ford v Ferrari, or 'le Mans 66' as it's called here, is a decent above average based on a true story movie. It's very pretty to look at. It has very good actors being watchable and charming as mavericks to root for, and suits who are charmingly smarmy and inept. It has beautiful cars doing what beautiful cars should be doing, being driven photogenically.
There's nothing to complain about. It's 2.5hr run-time doesn't drag at all, it swishes by as amiably as a Sunday drive through familiar countryside in good company. Bale does Bale. Damon does Damon. The GT40 is the prettiest race car ever. Things are as they should be.
It's just not particularly memorable either.
