This film contains one of the funniest, most contrived deaths of all time for a character with less than one minute of screen time. There is no way it went down like that.
Adam Driver & Penélope Cruz put it good performances. The rest of the cast are fine and do the job. The drivers aren't developed that well which makes it hard to connect with them while racing, raising the stakes.
This film contains two plots: securing the win at the Mille Miglia for recognition and marketability so the company doesn't go backrupt, and Enzo Ferrari's lineage steming from his estranged wife and mistress. The latter plot line taking a majority of the runtime which isn't bad but the film is marketed as a racing film.
If you are looking for a racing film, I would recommend Le Mans '66, Rush and even Gran Turismo because this film is more of a dive into Enzo Ferrari's personal life and less exotic, heart-pumping racing.
The trailer gave way too much away revealing key moments and some of the best scenes. The CGI is easily spotted and did take me out the film during crucial moments.
If you are interested in learning about Enzo Ferrari's career and life during this period and if you're a fan of Adam Driver then it's an easy recommendation since it's a good film on those fronts but I was left desiring better constructed racing sequences to elevate this film.
