This was a disappointing Film. First, the positives: its a nuanced portrayal of a complex, flawed man. Penelope Cruz is fantastic. Adam Driver is good (though at times more Adam Driver with a wig and accent than Enzo Ferrari).
Sadly though I felt it completely lacked stakes. I just did not care about any of the story. Even in the race sequences, I just didn’t care. The film spends no time building stakes or getting you invested in its (often cold and stoic) characters. There are also a lot of scenes that left me asking “what?”. Also why do the crashes look so terrible?
