Well acted, solid, good-looking biopic. Car racing was achieved as it should. Storywise a generic way to tell the plot.

Now THAT is how you make a movie. This, quite simply, is just really well made. The directing is solid (especially the racing sequences), the editing is top notch, the leads are irresistible, and the pacing is so good that it only feels like a two-hour movie. For me, this is the perfect blend of drama and (racing) action. There’s enough racing for racecar enthusiasts and enough drama for film enthusiasts. Bale and Damon are phenomenal together. One of my favorites from 2019. Go see it!

Yeah, it's a big budget sports movie, but it's like the best version of a big budget sports movie. Bale and Damon make up 80% of the screen time, and they knock this thing out of the park. It's also a really good example of pace and plotting. Every time I found myself wanting to check my watch the writers would do something to immediately inject more energy. Its not a perfect movie, but if you can stomach some of the Oscar season Biopic/Sports movie cliches, then you can have a really fun time.

A pretty basic, classic story but there's real skill both behind and in front of the camera. The film seemed to me to reach a natural conclusion after about an hour and 45 minutes, so I really don't know why this is over 2,5 hours in length. I literally don't know, because I left the theater at that point, not seeing what they could have added to the story with another hour and feeling fairly satisfied.

formül filminin daha sosyal bir nitelik kazanıp siyaseten daha duyarlı hale gelmesi bunu yaparken de teknik yetisini üst seviyede tutması kuşkusuz sevindirici. ama en sığ ifadesiyle *yaaağğğniiiii* diye tepki verilecek filmi bile marvel'in tüm sahneyi çoraklaştırması sağolsun vasatlık övgüsüyle karşılayacak hale geldiğimiz için filmi bir tık yukarıdan kutladığım doğrudur. sinematografi apayrı yalnız. yarışla işi olmayan bana sevdirdi, çünkü mesele o değil.

Technically strong, well shot, exhilarating racing scenes, good performance from Damon. Bale's accent was a bit iffy. By the end, I was invested and I enjoyed it, but it's overly long, boring for the first half and a bit trite. It leans too heavily on the trope of the clueless, profit-obsessed businessmen vs the shoots-from-the-hip, maverick expert. We're meant to cheer and laugh every time he sticks it to the man and shows them up, but I found myself rolling my eyes.

On surface level a wellplayed but thoroughly by-the-numbers biopic, that tweaks most story beat into almost comically dramatic conflicts. Below the surface though, it's a horribly bleak exposé of the corroding influence of money and corporate interest within a given craft, and the subsequent downfall of true mavericks submissive to this unholy patronage, and I would probably rate it higher if I was convinced that this was completely intentional...

Rating this a 65 mostly comes down to the fact that I don't give a shit about cars but wanted to watch this because I was down for some Bale and Damon action. They really could have cut some of this down to get better pacing, but for the most part it's a solid drama with good performances. If I was more interested in the premise I would have liked this more for sure. Even I have to begrudgingly admit that the racing was kinda fun.

Corporate structure and singular talents clash off-track and on, where the 'perfect lap' presents both ultimate individual triumph and a tarmac nirvana to become one with ("everything slows down and you just become a body flying down the road"/"you forget your own name") - only by crossing this threshold can the driver finally let go of ego, allowing him to integrate for the good of the collective [This interpretation was approved by the Ford Motor Company]. Weighed down by dull domestic drama.

Very well directed racing scenes,some good comedy, and some good acting fit inside of a pretty bog standard drama. I was very distracted by the evil cartoon character that was Henry Ford's lackey who was there to show that Ford isn't bad because it's a giant corporation, it's just that one executive who is really over the top evil.

I’m always impressed when a filmmaker can make me care about subject matter that I normally find boring. Mangold is the truest star of the show here. His direction makes us care about everything from the high-octane races to the character-driven quiet conversations. But Damon and Bale are also fantastic—especially Bale.

Top notch direction, highly gripping racing scenes, well acted all around. The gearheads behind me in the cinema definetly got what they wanted. But even if your not into old race cars, they movie is intriguing enough to make it's 2,5 hour runtime fly by like the cars in the movie. I liked how much the movie emphasizes that car racing is highly dangerous and every driver is basically insane for doing it.

Enjoyed the first half of the film, not so much the racing-heavy last half. I tried watching the last couple Formula 1 seasons, but came to the conclusion that I'm just not a gearhead. I respect that the film is very true to life though, even the racing scenes have no CGI. Kudos to them.

Simply passable in every way, right down to the white bread title. Queue high testosterone shots of stick shifts, Matt Damon staring into the glare of the race track, & oh-my-gawd you not believe what wacky character Christian Bale is playing this time!! Fuck Ford. I hope to go back in time & "ruminate" a wrench into Henry's mother's womb.

Excellent direction from Mangold, fantastic chemistry between Bale and Damon, and rock-solid editing and writing make Ford v Ferrari a remarkable entry in the canon of racing films. It feels like 2013's Rush got some dirt and grime on it and sacrificed a bit of thematic content, which is not a bad recipe for a good thrill ride of a film. Even without a ton of depth, there's enough stakes to make the film interesting and fun throughout it's runtime.

This is an example of the best stuff that big, popular film making can do. It tells an interesting story pretty well with big stars and talented actors and has more than a little on it's mind. It's not deep, but it's ruminations about what it takes to win and the conflict between commerce and personal vision are handled well.

I am a firm believer that you don't have to break the mold or rewrite history in order to make a good movie. There is virtue in convention done well. That's what this movie is: conventional storytelling done very well. Bale in particular is dynamite, and it was at least a little refreshing to see Jon Bernthal NOT play an asshole (although he's a little underutilized for his talents). I was upset with perceived bad writing as the ending unfolded, before remembering this was a true story. Whoops!

I have watched this movie 30 times already. This version with Bale and Damon was perfectly bland and inoffensive as promised. For a more exciting driving movie may I suggest - The Straight Story by David Lynch. It has a scene of a lawn mover gliding down a hill more thrilling than anything managed here.

Biz yaramaz çocuk ruhlu erkeklere göre bir film var. Matt Damon ve Christian Bale başrolünde oynadığı bir araba yarışı filmi. Mutlu ailesi olan Ken Mills, Ford için araba tasarlayıp sürücüsü olur. Yarışları kazanan Ken Mills, Ford'u zirveye çıkarır. Ferrari'yi yerin dibine sokar. Sinematografi ve ses çok iyi. Christian Bale nefis. Upuzun bir yarış sahnesi var. Kurgu başarılı çünkü filmden sıkılmıyoruz. Sürücü hatalarını Ferrari'ye bildirin.

Bland awards season racing biopic that does everything you’ve already seen before except none of it stands out. Phoned-in script saved in some moments by transcending performances. I hate it more than actual bad movies. Will probably win a bunch of Oscars.

A well-oiled machine (sorry). It just works; simple as that (my only real gripe is that I wish the last five minutes had been cut). The racing sequences in particular are just brilliantly executed. Everything is communicated in such a way that your average layman who knows nothing about racing (like myself) can easily understand the risks being taken and the overall stakes. Plus, it’s beautifully edited; rapidly so, but always completely coherent and logical to the tracking mind.

Should have been titled, "The Real Fast & Furious". Perhaps the best ever car race (not car chase) movie. The drama was real, not contrived, and there was no CGI except for the crowds. The jerk Ford executive actually did stage the fiasco finish. The movie could have used some more music though, especially at the end to accompany the jerk walking away, say to, "Mustang Sally": "All ya wanna do is ride around Sally, RIDE SALLY RIDE!"

Wish they went full ‘Rendezvous’ by stripping the movie of its excess fat and focus solely on the racing, which was definitely exciting to watch. Phedon Papamichael shot this movie like a boss.
