Review of Love the Beast (2009) by Steve S — 28 May 2010
*** (out of four).
The sign of a good documentary is whether is is able to get its audience interested in a subject it normally would not be interested in. "Love the Beast" is able to do this to a point. I didn't gain much understanding as to the thrill of car racing, but in the end I did care about the well being of the car.
The documentary, directed by Eric Bana, follows the actor's love of racing, especially the love for his car which he has had since he was a teenager.
It feels like an honest story from Bana. Though it really is only us watching him do his hobby. Bana is such a likeable and charismatic guy that it is sort of fun watching him live his dreams.
