Review of Ford v Ferrari (2019) by Muldjord — 17 Dec 2021

An enjoyable ride from start to finish, quite literally. Apart from a few cheesy scenes this is a well-acted, amazingly choreographed and thrilling movie. It does take a few liberties with the story, but it is a movie, so I would expect no less. The overall narrative is that of the real events that occurred, and most of the characters are real people who existed in or around the events.

But the really impressive feat of the movie is the racing itself. No matter if you enjoy racing or not, you will be on the edge of your seat biting your fingernails. You really want these guys to succeed. And you might think that's a given. It is not.

If you don't know the story of Ken Miles and the 1966 Le Mans, I would highly recommend going in completely blind. Read up on it afterwards if you want. You'll realize that, aside for the over-dramatization of certain events, this movie is pretty accurate in its portrayal of the event and what led up to it.
