Yes! What a great cine biography

Rating: 10/10 (29 January 2020)

I've been saying this for years, but making a cine biography isn't easy. I know movies aren't an exact science, but most of the time I watch a biography, I found myself giving something around 7, when it's just an ok movie, or even lower. However, lately there were quite a few great ones, like "I, Tonya" or "Darkest Hour". And man, this movie is definitely one of those great ones.
The most fascinating aspect for me is that the movie is thrilling, it puts you on the edge of your sit for the entirety of it, the racing scenes are incredible, and it was truly a pleasure watching it without knowing Ken Miles' storyline, I was surprise a bunch of times. That's me though, I bet that most people would at least search a bit before watching the movie.
Anyways, the movie has great cinematography, amazing performances by Damon and Bale. Also a shout out to Josh Lucas, he did great as well here, I hated him for most of the movie, and that was definitely the goal here.
The score is good too. The movie is 2h30 hours long, but it never feels like it, you are so damn entertained by the thing, that when is ending you actually feel like you could watch another hour of it in a heartbeat.
To sum up, James Mangold once again does a great job in his new movie, and he definitely has my attention now. Ford v Ferrari is a great movie for movie lovers but also for the casual moviegoer, who can simply watch for the sake of watching the racing sequences, at the end of the day, no one will be disappointed.
