Feels old - in such a great way

Rating: 9/10 (2 February 2020)

This is the story of how Ford took on Ferrari at the Lemons 24 hour race.
This film is unlike most modern films I have seen in the last few years in that it didn't try to dazzle me with effects, subvert my expectations, throw in twenty plot twists, rectify social inequalities, push agendas or try and be more clever than it is.
It just tells a good story with great characters and then, ends.
This seems such a rare thing now days.
The race scenes are exhilarating, the humorous parts made me smile and the emotional scenes were touching.
The film wrapped up in under two hours and left me feeling entertained. (edit: sorry, this film is well over two hours - it sure didn't feel like it.)
It has some petrol-head talk in it but anything important was simplified to a level even I could understand.
Now I doubt the film, despite being based on a true story, matches reality that closely but I enjoyed it so much I don't care enough to check.
A great move that won't blow your mind but will leave you entertained.
