Rating: 9/10 (27 February 2020)

I never cared much about racing competitions, and yet this movie pushed me to some researches on Le Mans competition on 1966, the year when Ford won for the first time the race.
Technically speaking is amazing, racing scenes are amazingly directed, you can feel the tension after every curve, during every overtaking and on every duel. This is how car racing scenes are supposed to be done. The photography is extremely dynamic and immersive, you feel part of the competition. For sure one of the most successful direction of 2019.
The movie tells the story of the creation of the car that will beat Ferrari in Le Man, showing the whole process, and it does so in an original and inspired way. Two hours and a half flew away. It was a satisfying experience. Characters are really well developed and you can easily bound with them. Every one has the right space on screen.
"Ford v. Ferrari" is for sure one of the best movie of its category from the last year and I really liked how Christian Bale and Matt Damon portrayed the friendship between Shelby and Miles.
