Gran Turismo captures a truly remarkable young man and his journey to professional legitimacy. This is for anyone needing a jolt to the system and focusing on getting back on one’s true path in life. Read full review

Movie Nation Roger Moore

Gran Turismo is a beautiful looking film. Jacques Jouffret photographed it like the slickest car commercial you’ve ever seen, and Austyn Daines and Colby Parker Jr. edited us right into and inside the race cars and the races recreated here. It plays. It’s also damned entertaining. Don’t anybody tell you otherwise. Read full review

There’s an innocence to this one, and a surprise authenticity. It’s like a “Fast and Furious” movie made without cynicism, and it gets to you. Read full review

The Film Verdict Alonso Duralde

Aug 8, 2023

Gran Turismo is a piece of salesmanship that never stops selling — the movie constantly reminds us how much the real races resemble the accurate simulation of the game, and even the Sony Walkman gets a fair amount of screen time — but the vroom-vroom of it all delivers enough adrenaline and character-building to make this a solidly entertaining piece of late-summer cinema.

Gran Turismo lacks the concentration to feel like it’s really going anywhere. Instead, there’s the nagging feeling it’s just spinning its wheels. Read full review

There are a few rushes in this movie’s incredibly calculated rendition of Mardenborough’s tale, thanks to Blomkamp. But Sony is transparent with this adaptation, which has no ambitions to make Gran Turismo any more challenging than gamer bait. Read full review

Based on A true story, which is a massive step up from the last PlayStation Studios theatrical production. Simply put, Gran turismo is one of the best made SPORTS/GAMING films I have ever seen. Newcomer Archie Madekwe (Jan Mardenborough in real life) is perfect in the lead role. David harbour has solidified himself as an A list actor too. Furthermore, it’s very nostalgic seeing Orlando bloom back on screen after a very long time away who is very good. The trailers made GT out to seem very generic, but I had blast with this one. … Expand

I would easily recommend this movie to people who just want to have good time and watch cool visual effects and solid story. Hopefully it makes decent amount of money, because modern movie industry needs more movies like this and less political propaganda.

For instance, the horrific Nordschleife accident happened after his success at Le Mans. For some reason the movie depicts the fatal accident as stepping stone into a flourishing career. This is highly unethical, scabrous and a slap in face of the victim's family.… Expand
