A clever soundtrack and a convincing soundscape sneak under the asphalt of the film. The tension is shot into your fingers through spectacular camera settings and pictures at motorsport speed until it finally goes on the straight to the finish line.

But the quiet moments are also very well chosen and staged. The only thing I would have wished for was a bit more of the surrounding area (training, etc.), but then the film would have been too long.

Full throttle to happiness.… Expand

I'll keep it simple. Good movie, from start to finish. A little bit old school to boot. An easy watch, no identity politics to ruin it. Good job guys.

Wished I watched this in theaters...if you love Fast and Furious, you're gonna love this one even more.
Feels like an action flick in a race movie. Amazing performances and effects. It feels like an unique movie about friendship, passion and talent.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I think that there is a lack of proper musical accompaniment. When even one of the main characters died, the same song was played as when he rode in the Le Mans race. And also lack of emotions. When you die you can not remember? When did you lose the race of a lifetime to be silent? But the acting and scenery are good, so 7… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Ford v Ferrari is one of those movies that's based on a real story that doesn't have to stray too far from the truth to stay interesting. Matt Damon and Christian Bale are extremely convincing as Carroll Shelby and Ken Miles and fit their roles almost perfectly, as does most of the supporting cast. The movie is largely about the leadup to the 1966 24 Hours of Le Mans in an attempt to beat the dominant Ferrari team following a business deal gone wrong with the now famous Ford GT40, as Ford's corporate executives continue to make mistake after mistake. They've hired the right guy to build their cars but dislike the blue collar driver who can get the design and chassis setup correct and fight Shelby's team every step of the way. While Miles is the most instrumental player in the Ford program, he isn't allowed to drive because he doesn't "fit the face" of Ford. After some pushback, Miles is finally allowed to drive the car in the 24 Hours of Daytona (obviously filmed at Auto Club Speedway in California, which is my only major issue with the movie, very visually different from Daytona) and wins, convincing Ford to let him drive in the 24 Hours of Le Mans. Miles dominates at Le Mans yet again before being told by Ford corporate's team to lineup for a celebratory photo finish with the competing Ford cars, but is cheated out of the win by a technicality and a competing Ford team wins instead. While testing for the next race, Miles is killed in an accident. The GT40 program would go on to dominate Le Mans the next 2 years under Carroll Shelby's direction, but the film makes it clear that Miles was the most instrumental in getting the program off of the ground. Overall, it's a very exciting movie and a must watch for racing fans.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This movie is probably the best I have ever seen, topping all the Marvel movies combined. It's about passion, comraderie, friendship, and pure talent. Christian Bale is amazing as Ken Miles and Matt Damon is awesome as Caroll Shelby. James Mangold and the team were nearly perfect, except for the 24 Hours of Daytona which was filmed at Auto Club in California, which is understandable because of how NASCAR works when it comes to their tracks. Marco Beltrami and Buck Sanders created an unforgettable soundtrack. The film pulls you in and makes you invested in the story. Brilliant job by Hollywood for not just making another remake and instead going with a fresh idea. Overall, 10/10, would watch again.… Expand

Very enjoyable. I'm not sure either of the lead characters are nice/fluffy people so it's to Hale's and Damon's credit that you feel engaged and end up rooting for them.

Don't think that this is a petrol head movie with limited appeal, it's a quite simple little guy V big guy tale (think Rocky) that is suitable for all tastes I think. If anything, it's rather too simplistic with no nuance or multi-layered elements or stuff that would tip it into awards territory. They've made the film for the average Joe, not the intelligentsia or Oscar committee.… Expand

I’m not much into race cars or racing, but at the end of the day, despite the fact that this movie was based on true events, it’s more than just about racing and race cars. FvF is about the drive of competition, what it means to be a team player and what being smart looks like. I thoroughly enjoyed the performances Matt Damon and Christian Bale gave as their characters and loved the dynamic and chemistry the two had. The two had memorable moments that made many scenes of this movie hit hard and be really entertaining. The story and script are also great; the dialogue is really good and the way the movie progresses allows for the characters to change a little bit and develop really cool relationships with each other. The film flows really well; it does have some awkward moments for the characters, but those moments don’t disrupt the flow of the movie and more serve to show us who these characters are at their core. The characters have some absolutely savage lines in this movie that show that they have a pair of balls on them and that they aren’t afraid to be who they are. FvF is also a movie about being you and not being afraid to stand up to someone or tell them that they’re wrong when you know for a fact that they are wrong, even if that someone is a friend. FvF also exemplifies the concept that sometimes the experience can be just as satisfying as the victory, even if you don’t win. There is a bigger point here that I’m trying to make, which is this: FvF may be fundamentally about the rivalry between Ford and Ferrari regarding the 24 hours of the Le Mans, but it has so much else going on in it that it’ll be able to appeal to audiences who, like me, aren’t into racing or race cars that much. People can appreciate this movie for a lot of different reasons, which is one reason why it’s so good to me and why I was just as entertained watching this movie the second time as I was the first time. I think I appreciated it more when I was able to see it not just for its filmmaking technique but for its bigger themes and messages. This movie may not have won the academy award for best picture, but for me it’s a must-see and I strongly recommend it for people even if they don’t care much for its premise.… Expand

"Ford v Ferrari" is an action-packed film that showcases the intense rivalry between the iconic American automaker and the renowned Italian brand. Although the focus of the film is on the competition between the two companies, the true heart"Ford v Ferrari" is an action-packed film that showcases the intense rivalry between the iconic American automaker and the renowned Italian brand. Although the focus of the film is on the competition between the two companies, the true heart of the story lies in the power struggle between Carroll Shelby's team and the executives at Ford, particularly between Shelby (Matt Damon) and Leo Beebe (Josh Lucas). Christian Bale's portrayal of Ken Miles is particularly compelling, as he navigates the challenges of being a responsible father and husband while also risking his life on the racetrack. Miles is the driving force behind the story, making it possible.

"Ford v Ferrari" is a triumph of American ingenuity that arrived at a time when the country needed it. It's a thrilling underdog story with engaging characters. The only downside is its lengthy runtime, which could have been shortened by 30 minutes without losing its impact. The film also has a feeling of being made for awards consideration, which can make it feel a bit self-important.

Overall, "Ford v Ferrari" is a testament to what can be achieved with hard work, perseverance, and a leap of faith. It's a film worth celebrating.
_______________________
"Ford v Ferrari" es una película llena de acción que muestra la intensa rivalidad entre el icónico fabricante de automóviles estadounidense y la reconocida marca italiana. Aunque el foco de la película está en la competencia entre las dos compañías, el verdadero corazón de la historia está en la lucha de poder entre el equipo de Carroll Shelby y los ejecutivos de Ford, particularmente entre Shelby (Matt Damon) y Leo Beebe (Josh Lucas). . La interpretación de Christian Bale de Ken Miles es particularmente convincente, ya que se enfrenta a los desafíos de ser un padre y esposo responsable mientras arriesga su vida en la pista de carreras. Miles es la fuerza impulsora detrás de la historia, haciéndola posible.

"Ford v Ferrari" es un triunfo del ingenio estadounidense que llegó en un momento en que el país lo necesitaba. Es una emocionante historia de perdedores con personajes atractivos. El único inconveniente es su larga duración, que podría haberse acortado en 30 minutos sin perder su impacto. La película también tiene la sensación de estar hecha para ser considerada para premios, lo que puede hacer que se sienta un poco engreída.

En general, "Ford v Ferrari" es un testimonio de lo que se puede lograr con trabajo duro, perseverancia y un acto de fe. Es una película que vale la pena celebrar.… Expand
