I LOVED THIS MOVIE, and I know NOTHING about racing & cars

Rating: 10/10 (24 November 2013)

I went to see this movie because I heard it was good and I love the actors.
I was pleasantly surprised to find it was SO entertaining and the story so engrossing.
I was even more intrigued when I learned it was a true story! The writing and the acting were so brilliant that I fell in love with each character, and I debated throughout the entire movie, "Which character do I like better??" (I would swing back and forth, but ultimately my heart went to Niki) The acting was spectacular. While I knew Chris Hemsworth would be outstanding, I was AMAZED by Daniel Bruhl! WOW. Both actors had fantastic chemistry and I totally believed they were lifelong racing brothers who had love/hate feelings for each other, leading towards boundless respect in the end.
On some level, this felt like a Love Story, a story of redemption, and a story of brotherhood and loyalty.
I walked out of the theater feeling inspired. Happy. Deep in thought. And most amazingly, CURIOUS and eager to know MORE about the world of Formula 1 Racing, cars, and the real life Niki Lauda & James Hunt!
