Professional, well-made film with amazing look

Rating: 9/10 (15 April 2020)

Firstly I should say that I'm not particularly a fan of motor racing, or aware at all of any of the story covered. Had it not been for the rave reviews, I wouldn't have sought this one out.
The story itself is relatively straight forward, and the outcome not a particular surprise. This film could easily have fallen into mediocrity, however it just so well made. For the entire film, there barely seems a scene or a word out of place. On top of this, it looks amazing. I can't recall a film that, while not dealing with typically spectacular visuals, just looked so good.
The acting is outstanding, especially Christian Bale, who gives I think his best performance, in a fantastically nuanced job. Matt Damon is good and the rest of the supporting cast generally spot on. Overall very highly recommended, one of the most professionally made films I've seen in a long time.
