Ford v Ferrari

Imagine if Michael Bay made a good movie. This is that movie. While it won’t really resonate, this is really loud, fun, and entertaining. The biopic parts of the story, while earnest and true, present a melancholy conclusion to what would otherwise be an action movie. Filmmakers handle the weird and sad bits with style, leaving the audience wondering how and why some races unfolded the way they did. There’s a lot of information about auto racing here, too. But it’s never boring thanks to the skillful exposition of the A-list cast. It’s a throwback to an era of big theaters and popcorn fun.
