Ferrari (2023)
6/10
Beautifully shot, a bit of a slog
12 December 2023
The racing sequences are amazing (especially the sound), but the crashes were obviously staged by someone why doesn't understand how cars crash (wildly exaggerated). Penelope Cruz is a revelation and steals every scene she's in. Adam Driver requires you constantly suspend your disbelief (his acting is fine, he just doesn't look anything like Enzo - hard to understand how he was cast - I kept seeing Kylo Ren). This isn't a bad movie, but it's a melodrama about Enzo and his Wife/Mistress/Son/business, not a movie about racing. Unfortunately that melodrama isn't presented in a compelling, gripping manner. It's unfortunate, as they obvs had a ton of budget. It is GORGEOUS to look at!
