Best movie of the year

Rating: 9/10 (20 December 2019)

I will say that I didn't have high expectations for this movie coming in. I was a little skeptical of all the good reviews, even though Damon and Bale were on the front line of the cast. Boy was I wrong.
I don't like to give movies 10/10, (I've probably only done it once or twice in my life), but it took me several minutes to critique this movie enough to bring it down one star. My only critique is that it is a long movie. It's appx 3 hours long and you can feel it by the end.
That being said, this is, in my opinion, the best movie of the year. Bale brought an Oscar winning performance as Ken Miles, a hardened, entertaining race car driver. His performance was probably one of the best of his careers. That was backed up by Damon, who played Carroll Shelby, a race car manufacturer with a love of racing. I only say that he backed up Bale because of how impressive Bale was, but if Damon had been alone in this movie, he would have easily been the star.
The filming and editing was phenomenal. Sound was fantastic. The supporting cast were also great. All around, it was the most entertaining and the most inspiring movie of the year.
