New York Magazine (Vulture)Alison WillmoreJun 29, 2025
This is Pitt’s movie, and like its star, it never opens itself up enough to truly take off. Read full review

Wall Street JournalKyle SmithJun 27, 2025
“F1” is a fun, exciting, predictable popcorn picture so formulaic it even contains a reference to formula in its title. Read full review

The Irish TimesDonald ClarkeJun 24, 2025
F1 really is too thuddingly familiar for words. Drop a bowling ball off a cliff and you would be less sure of its trajectory. Read full review

VarietyOwen GleibermanJun 17, 2025
We go into “F1” excited about being excited, and the film makes good on that. It’s nothing if not an adrenaline high. Yet it’s a high that may leave you feeling a bit empty afterwards. Read full review

IndieWireDavid EhrlichJun 17, 2025
The action is hardly dull, but the sheer disconnect between the wowee zowee immediacy of the race footage and the mezzo mezzo excitement it inspires suggests that tuning out the noise isn’t as easy as Sonny Hayes might seem to think. Read full review

TheWrapWilliam BibbianiJun 17, 2025
Kosinski’s antiseptic visual style and Ehren Kruger’s limp screenplay (with a co-story credit by Kosinski himself) make 'F1 The Movie' an incredibly sterile film about virility. It’s so manly it can barely perform. Read full review

The Film VerdictAlonso DuraldeJun 27, 2025
F1 doggedly follows the expected ups and downs of most sports-movie narratives, and it’s clearly more interested in recreating the experience of racing than telling a story or crafting a character piece. Read full review

SlashfilmWitney SeiboldJun 17, 2025
At a bloated 156 minutes, audiences will have too ample time to ponder the film's many weaknesses. The racing will be exciting — very exciting, in fact — and Pitt is certainly a movie star, but quite frankly, I can have my own midlife crisis, thank you. I don't need to watch Pitt's.

Austin ChronicleRichard WhittakerJun 26, 2025
The real engine that keeps the movie moving isn’t the cliched script or the spectacular race footage. It’s Pitt. Read full review

The IndependentClarisse LoughreyJun 24, 2025
While director Joseph Kosinski and cinematographer Claudio Miranda can certainly shoot cars as well as they can planes – it’s all plumes of smoke from the tyres and the bone-rattling rumble of starting engines – F1 represents the spiritually bone-dry, abrasive inverse to all of Maverick’s giddy pleasures.

BBCNicholas BarberJun 17, 2025
Formula One enthusiasts may disagree, and they may be delighted that their beloved motorsport has been put on the big screen in such a laudatory fashion. Everyone else: this is not where you want to be. Read full review

The TimesKevin MaherJun 17, 2025
There’s an unashamedly “enthusiastic” cross-promotional quality to the film, like a two-and-a-half-hour Formula 1 commercial, that never quite gels with its hoary central story. Read full review
