9.5/10 One of the best movies of the year.. except for that ending

Rating: 10/10 (1 February 2020)

Ford V Ferrari was an experience..this is what cinema, true cinema, is, wonderment, excitement, laughter, emotion, and just that "How in the hell did they make that?" question in your mind. This movie is spell-binding, heart-pounding, mesmerizing, pulsing with energy, and I was unable to even look at my phone for more than 2 seconds. The actors were phenomenonal, Bale, as always, a force of nature, the man can do no wrong. But Matt Damon, and Jon Bernthal were amazing too, and the incredibly well written dialogue, especially the chemistry and relationship between Bale and Damon, is both hilarious, beautiful, and real. The cinematography, soundtrack, unbelievable sound design, flawless direction all merge together and create truly incredible scenes..you feel the car vibrating, changing gear, speeding, braking, it's glorious. But then there's the ending, which, I guess, was too sad for me, even though it was still real, and emotional, and all that, I needed a happy ending. Still, this is one of the finest movies of the year, and pretty much a masterpiece, so I will rate Ford V Ferrari a 9.5/10
