Starts well and goes on from there

Rating: 9/10 (15 March 2019)

With some films you can tell from the first minute that it is going to be good, well acted, well scripted, well directed. This was no exception and the greater than average running time passed effortlessly. Wonderful performances from the two leads, quite a bit of humour, and heaven if you love cars from the 1950s and 60s. Don't buy the criticism of too much predictability. Apart from one scene about halfway through where you could more or less guess how it would play out, this film surprised more than it fulfilled predictions. Nothing was more touching than the postscript. If you believe in a meaningful universe, it was as if Tony and Don were destined to meet and make each other grow.
