Accurate and Compelling Tale

Rating: 10/10 (15 April 2020)

It's not often that I hand out a 10/10. This film earned it for staying as true as it gets to the REAL life events and characters without compromise. There are many things that an avid motorsport enthusiast who knows their history will spot. But even the errors or speculative occurances in this film are passable, and that's what made this great cinema. It's so close to the truth that those discrepancies become minute and decay as you ride along with an amazing cast. It's hard to imagine anyone else playing these historic figures because they nail it spot on. Feel free to watch any interviews with Shelby or Miles - Damon and Bale sell their performances as fact. And not one actor in this film did not complete a great job. I will say the special effects are stunning, as well as sound design. Obviously the creators of this film worked very hard with Ferrari and Ford to capture and display this amazing piece of history. I as a racing fan cannot laud this film enough. I knew it was perfect when my wife and daughters, who have little to no interest in the pursuit of speed and records, all immediately attached and engrossed theirselves with this momentous tale.
