Firstly, the music. Oh boy!

I came expecting engine roars... and instead got Hans Zimmer blasting emotions at 300 km/h. I wasn't prepared for this concert. I came to the theatre for Formula 1, not to feel my feelings in Dolby Atmos. The guitars and drums were doing more laps than the cars.

Cinematography? A thing to Marvel at!

No, no - NOT that Marvel. This isn't a multiverse; this is motorsport. But I'll give it to Kosinski - the man knows how to shoot speed. The close-ups, the helmet cams, the pit lane drama - it's all smoother than Lewis on a soft compound.

Kosinski pulls it off again As expected, the Top Gun: Maverick director brings his signature hyper-real-but-just-believable-enough style. Everything looks slick, the tension is palpable, and the racing feels intense. The cars look real, the tracks feel familiar, and the drama is soaked in cinematic polish - and maybe a bit of Red Bull too.

Now, dear hardcore F1 fans... You will suffer. In silence.

Yes, yes - the pit stop timings are a joke, strategy makes no sense, tyre degradation is apparently fictional, and someone said "DRS" like it's a Marvel superpower. You'll sit there, physically cringing, as your non-F1 friends lean over and say, "Omg I didn't know Formula 1 was this emotional." You'll want to scream, but you won't. You'll smile. You'll nod. Then later, you'll go straight to Reddit, type furiously, and find solace in a thread titled "Things that made no damn sense in the F1 movie - Spoiler heavy".

Final thoughts: Is it accurate? Not really.

Is it entertaining? Absolutely.

Is Brad Pitt believable as an ageing F1 comeback driver? Well... let's just say Fernando Alonso might have notes.

Go watch it. Just don't forget - it's not Formula 1. It's Formula Fun-damentally unrealistic, but kinda awesome.

...and I went into this expecting a Hollywood movie and thrilling entertainment...it delivered.

Look, even die-hard F1 fans have to admit that not every waking moment of a race is fun. This film took elements from race history and used it over the space of nine races. Whether it was Grosjean's fireball, or the moment Senna grabbed the fire extinguisher from the marshal, they took and they used. Yes there were some over the top elements, but what would you prefer? Track limit arguments?

Go into this expecting a polished action movie with nice nods to F1. I liked it, my kids liked it, and I think if you go in not expecting an Oscar winning movie, or a masterpiece, it is a fine watch.

Just got out of the theater. It was a full theater so I got my tickets weeks in advance. I've never watched anything F1 related in my life. I give it a 7.5/10. The IMAX scenes were fantastic. No shortage of those. The story was a classic underdog story. Still pretty good in my opinion. There was some pretty good comedy mixed in. The amount of advertising from companies was INSANE. There really was a lot.

The music was fantastic. I wish we heard more, but the main songs were barely in the movie. Just bits of it mainly the start of the songs. I was most hyped to hear "Messy" and "Just Keep Watching" but it was only like 15 seconds of each song played back to back. I was really looking forward to hearing the full song in theater but oh well

Worth a one time watch.

Reviews harping on about the story miss the point. Embrace the corn and enjoy yourself.

The action is good, although unbelievable it's clear the team cared about F1 and did their best to make it exciting to watch. I personally love how corny the whole thing is, it helps you turn off and enjoy the ride. Brad Pitt plays his classic cool guy persona, the supporting crew is entertaining the nods to the real F1 drivers and team directors are nice but not overplayed.

They did a phenomenal job with the practical effects and racing scenes. Honestly if you go to a racing move what else do you want. If you want everything to be realistic go watch a documentary.

As a longtime F1 fan, F1: The Movie completely blew me away. From the very first scene, you can tell this was made to be watched in a theater - it's loud, fast, emotional, and immersive in all the right ways.

The cinematography is stunning - easily the best I've seen in a racing film since Rush, maybe even since Top Gun: Maverick. The sound design and musical score elevate every race scene to something visceral and epic. I genuinely got chills more than once.

Sure, there are a few moments that feel a bit cliché or unrealistic, especially if you're deeply familiar with the world of Formula 1. But the film's technical brilliance and emotional punch more than make up for that.

In short: this movie is a love letter to F1 and to cinema itself. Whether you're a hardcore motorsport fan or just looking for an intense, high-octane story - you'll be in for a ride.

I absolutely loved this so glad I got to see an early screening with a packed audience only annoying thing was thing was the guy to the left me was a little distracting bro went through a slushy and a large water; I guess a fast paced movie makes someone thirsty. The film is phenomenal though I'm shocked of the haters already there's soul involved.

It's basically car version of Top Gun which is magnificent it's so fast paced in the bulk of it. I don't know much about Formula one, I love Brad Pitt, the director is brilliant and about cinematography! I also love that Kim Boden from Killing Eve was in this he's great and Kerry Condon is one of the most lovely beings!

Just the way it was with "Top Gunn : Maverick", Joseph Kosinski has once again delivered something that pulls you back to cinemas. This is what I call an experience. This movie is what movies are all about. They made promises with this, and fulfilled every single one of them. It's got that story, young guy taught by the veteran, but everything is done so spectacularly well that, when you leave the theatre, you really feel like jumping into a Formula 1 car yourself. Brad Pitt, it had to be you, I'm convinced that this guy just doesn't do bad movies. In the movie, it feels like it's Brad just being Brad. And it's amazing. I'd pay to watch this again and again.

Thank you for this.

It's sort of fun,Brad pitt is his usual charismatic self, Damon iris is solid in support, kerry condon is always great and a very underated actress, but to.be honest if you are a fan of actual formula one the story is beyond ridiculous, not one part of it makes any sense, its all style and not much substance, the dialogue is very cheesy, nothing is in anyway surprising as a blind man could see what was going to happen All in all its a well shot film, the racing sequences are great, but again if you've ever watched actual formula 1, they are beyond ridiculous, the real team heads that are used for cameos are especially poor, its mildly entertaining but ultimately pretty forgettable.

Okay let's start by saying I am not a fan of Formula 1. So I don't know anything about the rules etc. Yes there might be a lot rule-breqking in this movie but it is after all just that...a movie. It's purely for entertainment and not for realism. And boy is it entertaining. It's wonderful to see Brad Pitt back in the charismatic laid-back character role that he was born to play. The story is simple (class underdog story) but it js incredibly thrilling and fun.

The action scenes are phenomenal as is the sound. I am a huge fan of Director Joseph Kosinski and his cinematographer partner Claudio Miranda. I met them both a few years ago at the Cameraimage Festival in Torun, Poland and they are incredible filmmakers. Can't wait for Top Gun 3!

I'll keep if brief

9/10 visual. Very top gun.

7.5/10 racing accuracy. Overall good except the fact that sonny didn't see one black flag for any of the things he did, and, curbs don't launch f1 cars like that.

4/10 story. Same old individual heroism hollywood story that has been told 200 times.

6/10 characters. Only sonny's character motivation is established. Other characters have varying degrees of "why do they want to be here" syndrome, some worse than others. But the main characters have visible character development throughout the film nevertheless so overall not shockingly bad characters.

A lot of people complain about the runtime. Sure the story can comfortably be told within 90min. But they stretched the extra 40min to mostly show some gripping fictional f1 races. Not the worst usage of screen time.

6.5/10 my final score rounding up to 7.

F1 has you on the edge of your seat 100% of the running time, which is long, but nobody cares. Live action incredibly filmed, great story, Def not cookie- cutter. Plus, I loved the program music. This is a go- see film!

A pity there had to be a romance thrown into the mix, but it was tastefully and believably done.

Additionally, moviegoers got a tremendous amount of behind- the- scenes techie and deal- making insider information.

The most stunning part of F100was the camera work. I don't know how this was filmed, but it was incredibly realistic. And Brad Pitt shows that he still has it!

You will thoroughly enjoy this film.

Visually en auditory the race sequences are absolutely stunning, but the story, the plot and dialogue in general are just horrible and generic.

It makes F1 look like an absolute joke, like just anyone can drive these cars. This supposedly 60 y/o guy can still beat these young athletes who have trained their whole lives for this sport. It just deminishes their accomplishments and hard work.

Also, he can just break every rule when it comes to racing and get away with it. It makes F1 look like a clown show. Weird that f1 approved this.

The only thing I liked were the racing and some funny F1 references. Although, the racing strategies were just utterly bizarre, it was still a decent watch.

Disgraceful to the sport, wouldn't recommend if you're not into motorsport.

What a ton of cheesy scenes.

Lovely experience of sound from the f1 cars in IMAX but apart from that it's just dull.

Starring: Brad Pitt as Brad Pitt.

A guy that hates Brad Pitt for very weak reasons and acts like an idiot yet develops into a bit less of an idiot.

Javier Bardem as Javier Bardem trying to squeeze some humour in.

And the cameos by F1 drivers/teams which are the only good thing.

Featuring: an F1 team that achieves the unachievable by cheating.

A romance that has no chemistry and nobody cares about.

A decent OST that tries to bring emotions to every single scene (because they are mostly boring when they are not racing)

Cringe 80% Cool sound design and fast f1 driving takes 20%

If you're a hardcore F1 fan, the movie might feel a bit underwhelming. But if you're someone with a casual interest in cars and racing, you'll probably enjoy it. And if you know nothing about the sport at all, you're in for the best experience with stunning cinematography, a twist-filled story, and one of the best soundtracks produced for a film. The movie delivers some solid twists, with Brad Pitt stepping into the role of a leader and father figure for a struggling team. Watching it in IMAX is easily the best way to experience it's visually stunning and fully immersive. On the entertainment scale, it scores top marks. The characters are well-balanced, from seasoned veterans with firm convictions to hungry rookies fueled by adrenaline and eager to prove themselves. Their motives differ, but all are compelling in their own right.

Obviously being a movie, it streamlines heaps of F1, but uses enough reality to feel convincing. The movie is done with sincerity and care, with lots of American and Hollywood glamour on top of it.

The audio-visual aspect is the best part of the movie, but suffers from shot repetition and mix-match editing on fast paced stuff. Also some of the races should have utilized "space" and length bit more. F1 race weekend is long after all and the movie fast forwards to race day on each of them. This hurts slightly the credibility of the movie, but also seems missed opportunity story wise.

The story is Hollywood magic, but crafted from reality, even real events and strategies from F1 history, not just technicalities that could happen. Story is solid blockbuster with bit of Hollywood magic and mandatory B or C subplot love story.

If looking at the movie from different angle and with expectations of drama it starts to be more sinister product piece, with lack of opinion and attack on tje subject matter. The movie isn't marketed or intended to be serious drama so even if I would have liked more serious F1 movie, I don't want to review it for being something it never advertised to be.

This movie was fun.

I think that's all it tried to be, and that's all the people in front of and behind the camera wanted it to be.

There weren't any elements that were super original, but it was shot well. And feeling like I was in the driver's seat for much of the races helped keep me engaged. There weren't alot of explosions and all that nonsense, so showing the film from that point of view helped keep things interesting. Otherwise, you're just watching cars drive around a track.

The pacing was pretty good, which is important for a 2.5 hour movie and Hans Zimmer can ALWAYS be counted on to bring the action up a level. But the acting won't win any awards and the story has been done before.

I do feel like this was a second draft in some ways. I think there is an R-rated version of this movie on a shelf somewhere that I would have rather seen, but it's a summer blockbuster so I understand they have to appeal to the masses.

But, above all, it was a fun movie that I would watch again.

The way the movie was shot is magnificent. Brad Pitt is magnificent too. The problem is racing. The whole movie is like superb until they start racing. The endurance race at the beginning, the way Sonny is convinced to join to the APX team, the first test and the rivalry between the two drivers are all very well made. Unfortunately when they actively start to race the movie falls apart. Sonny constantly makes moves that you couldn't have ever seen ever from any driver before. Not to mention the car upgrades. One single update makes the worst car on the grid capable of winning. TBH if you follow F1 you simply can't enjoy this dumb portrayal of the sport. Once again Pitt still rocks 🔥

Long movie, but it doesn't drag for a second. It's surprisingly gripping - keeps the tension up the whole time, and still manages to mix in a good amount of humor.

Brad Pitt does a great job as Sonny Hayes. Fits the role perfectly.

Visually and sound-wise, the film is a beast. In IMAX it's just incredible!

You feel the speed, the sound is massive, and the cinematography is top-notch. Music is pretty awesome too (IMAX!).

The story? Classic underdog vibes, a bit predictable at times - but honestly told in a way that works and really pulls you in.

Bottom line: I already see F1-Nerds complaining about realism - but who cares? It's a movie, and a damn fun one. If you're a hardcore fan, maybe just relax and enjoy the ride.

If you have the chance: IMAX is a no-brainer.

F1: The Movie is a new sports film directed, co-written, and produced by Joseph Kosinski, known for Tron: Legacy and Top Gun: Maverick.

Promising Formula 1 driver Sonny Hayes (Brad Pitt) ended his career in the 1990s after a serious accident. Still, he continued to race as a hired driver.

When team boss Ruben Cervantes (Javier Bardem) is in search of a new driver for his Formula 1 team, he turns to Sonny for help. Sonny agrees, but insists on racing in his own way.

He is paired with Joshua Pearce (Damson Idris), the young talent on the team, and their styles and experiences clash. Still, the two must find a way to work together to give their team a shot at victory.

Following his success with Top Gun: Maverick, in which Joseph Kosinski made audiences feel as if they were right there in the cockpit with Tom Cruise, he tries to achieve the same with F1. And indeed: the racing scenes are impressively shot, at times making you feel like you're actually inside Brad Pitt's race car. Visually, the film certainly impresses.

However, F1: The Movie is less innovative when it comes to its story. The plot of an older, headstrong driver having to inspire or challenge the younger generation has already been seen in films like Le Mans '66 (Ford v Ferrari) and Rush. F1 seems to combine elements from these predecessors, but as a result, doesn't create a truly original or distinctive narrative.

Despite the high pace of the races, the film includes several slow moments. Or the opposite: the transitions between races can be so abrupt that it becomes hard to follow. The plot remains fairly predictable, often making it easy to sense where things are headed.

As with Top Gun: Maverick, many cast members performed their own stunts. Brad Pitt and Damson Idris drove the actual race cars themselves, with stunt drivers only used for dangerous scenes-though this is hardly noticeable on screen.

Still, F1 doesn't quite replicate the same realistic feeling as Top Gun: Maverick, where Tom Cruise did all his stunts himself. His familiar face and physical presence were always visible, which contributed to the immersion. That sense of presence is less consistently achieved in F1.

"F1" is a sports drama film co-written and directed by Joseph Kosinski ("Tron: Legacy", "Oblivion", "Only The Brave", "Top Gun: Maverick"). Starring Brad Pitt, Damson Idris, Javier Bardem, and Kerry Condon, it finds clever ways to combine genuine human drama with that of exciting scenes of car racing in a film that should satisfy connoisseurs of both.

Decades after being forced to retire from injuries sustained in a serious crash, former Formula One (F1) racer Sonny Hayes (Brad Pitt) has been working as a taxi driver while living inside a trailer. One day, Sonny's old friend and former F1 teammate Ruben (Javier Bardem) contacts him with an important job opportunity; mentoring hopeful rookie Joshua "Noah" Pearce (Damson Idris) for the Apex Grand Prix team (APXGP). After accepting the job, Sonny attempts to build a healthy working relationship with the young hotshot Noah, but their large generational gap frequently puts them at odds with each other. Over time, Sonny and Noah try to put their differences aside for the sake of winning the Formula One World Championship, a competition that ALXGP has repeatedly failed to even crack the top ten in terms of rank.

Since its inauguration back in 1950, Formula One racing has gone on to become one of the most elite forms of motorsports in the entire world. Named for the formulaic set of rules the participants are required to follow, the cars in F1 races are known for their uniquely aerodynamic designs that allow them to reach speeds of up to 375 km/h (233 mph). Because of this, driving an F1 car professionally is something that necessitates both mental and physical stability, not to mention having to deal with the enormous amount of pressure of winning a race for your team that goes along with it. In Joseph Kosinski's 2025 film "F1", we see the filmmaker strike a nice balance between acknowledging the emotional aspects of driving an F1 car while at the same time enjoying the exhilarating races taking place.

The key thing to help this film stand out from all of the other "fast car" movies is its in-depth exploration of its main characters beyond faceless figures behind a steering wheel. As the film starts, we are introduced to our protagonist Sonny, a retired F1 driver who is now washed-up and living in a trailer making ends meet driving taxis. It is quickly revealed to us through inter-spliced news stories that Sonny was once widely known within the world of F1 racing back in the early 90s, until a crash prematurely ended his career in this popular sport. However, Sonny's short time in the industry was not for nothing since he made a great deal of supportive friends that still harbour a great deal of respect for everything he did. One of those friends is Sonny's old teammate Ruben, who decides to recruit him into his down-and-out F1 team APXGP to train the young racing prodigy Noah. Though reluctant at first, Sonny decides to take Ruben up on this offer and come out of his indefinite retirement to help out an old friend.

For the bulk of the film, we get to see how Sonny interacts with Noah, whose perspective on the world of F1 racing is far different from how things once were back in the 1990s. Being from a younger age group, Noah feels a smug sense of superiority over Sonny's older coaching methods, frequently dismissing his mentor for being "outdated" and derogatorily referring to him as a "grandpa". In spite of this blatant disrespect, Sonny chooses to keep a relatively cool head, reminding Noah that he could learn a thing or two from this apparently obsolete advice and apply it to the racing tracks in order to become a better competitor. What could have been viewed as a typical old versus young plot device is instead used quite nicely here to demonstrate how each generation can learn from the other, often when they least expect it. As a result, Sonny and Noah's rivalry becomes a rather interesting and informative learning experience for both these characters and the audience watching them.

At its core, this film is actually a classic underdog story. The way it pulls this off is by having the APXGP team shown at the very bottom of the rankings, having never reached a significantly high position on the scales. With the stakes greatly against them, both Sonny and Noah must work extra hard to achieve their goals of bringing this team out of the depths and into significance not only for themselves, but for all of the workers making everything happen for them behind the scenes. This includes the pit stop workers, the engineers, the mechanics, and the company directors who are gambling their entire futures on Sonny and Noah's success. I couldn't help but admire how hard each of these people were working to ensure the cars that Sonny and Noah drive are up to standard, as without them, these two would basically be nobodies. It's rare to see a movie that emphasises the importance of the technical crew behind car racing, especially one that does so in such a respectful manner.

In addition to this, the film also has some exciting car racing scenes that are fast-paced, suspenseful, and very well-edited. Whenever a race is taking place, F1 cars are always seen zooming around the tracks at near-breakneck speeds, often at the aforementioned top speed of 375 km/h. Taking into account their sleek designs, these cars essentially trade agility for fragility, so every time we watch these cars speed past one other, it seems as though they could either slightly nudge each other and spin out or fly off the road and crash at any given moment. Joseph Kosinski proves his slick direction of "Top Gun: Maverick" wasn't a fluke, as he brings the same amount of workmanship of that film into this one. Jaw-dropping moments like cars passing extremely close to each another draw comparisons to Kosinski's handling of the dogfight scenes with the fighter jets, in that he places emphasis on the skill of those behind the steering wheel performing stunts that could mean the difference between life and death. However, most important of all, these sequences work primarily due to the fact that we actually care about the drivers carrying out these death-defying manoeuvres, something that is usually overlooked in lesser car racing movies.

Once again proving himself a watchable presence on screen, Brad Pitt is a natural fit for a role like Sonny, further proven by the fact that he is a racing enthusiast in real life. I really enjoyed watching the way Sonny handles himself behind the wheel of his car and in the ways he interacts with those around him. Sonny comes across as a respectable driver and a person in general, who despite his best years being well and truly behind him, never lets his ego go too far to his head. His intentions are as altruistic as they are pragmatic, putting the needs of his supporters before his own selfish desires. I couldn't help but feel that Pitt's performance is remarkably similar to that of Tom Cruise in 1990's "Days of Thunder", and after doing some research, I discovered that this film was initially conceived as a legacy sequel to that movie, like how "Top Gun: Maverick" was to its 1986 original. Though it would have worked somewhat as a continuation of that movie, I'm glad the filmmakers chose to keep this one as its own movie since Sonny works just as fine as a separate character.

Thankfully, this isn't a one-man show as the rest of the main cast each have their moments to shine. Damson Idris is appropriately cocky as Noah, whose belief that his generation of racers will leave Sonny's in the dust, a notion that is challenged quite often throughout the story. Although Noah's arrogance is off-putting at first, over time you start to realise that he is in actuality just a scared young man trying to help out his family, in particular his supportive mother. Though used sparingly, Javier Bardem is also a welcome addition to the cast as Ruben, and his friendship with Sonny always felt genuine. Most of the time, Ruben comes and goes whenever he needs to provide an expository moment, but whenever he does it is usually with a friendly conversation with Sonny, something that didn't end up bothering me all that much in the end. Also worth mentioning is Kerry Condon as Kate, APXGP's lead engineer who takes a particular liking to Sonny. I enjoyed watching Kate's determination to push the structural limits of the cars she designs, and in doing so she rightfully earns her place as the team's technical director.

For all the racing enthusiasts, veteran film fans, and even the casual moviegoers out there, "F1" delivers on just about every front, which is a task much easier said than done. Even if "fast car" movies aren't really your thing, the film is sure to draw you in with its brisk pacing, interesting characters, and underdog story that will have you cheering for just about everyone involved. Like "Top Gun: Maverick" before it, the film has found ways to blend fun high-octane action with that of genuine human interaction, proving that Joseph Kosinski is the man to turn to whenever you're craving this level of entertainment. With that in mind, I look forward to any future projects Kosinski has in store for us, because it feels like the sky's the limit for him at this point.

I rate it 8.5/10.

7.4/10 (Definitely Recommend)

To be the best of the best in Formula One, you're not just racing against other drivers. You're racing the machine itself. Victory demands unmatched speed, strength, and strategy. Does this film capture that reality? It absolutely does, as it offers but a glimpse into the thrilling intensity of the real sport.

What makes this film particularly compelling is its immersive execution. It places the viewer right in the driver's seat, delivering a visceral sense of the tension and exhilaration that define each race. The cinematography is outstanding, masterfully shifting between cockpit views and dynamic race footage to create a strikingly authentic atmosphere. The sound design further enhances the experience, using realistic audio and racing jargon to make you feel like a true member of the pit crew.

While the storyline follows a familiar arc, a fiery rookie and a renegade old-timer, the performances from Damson Idris and Brad Pitt bring undeniable charisma and chemistry. Their emotional interplay adds depth to the narrative and keeps the audience engaged, even as the plot treads well-worn paths. The emotional highs and lows of competition are palpable, and the audience's reactions, including audible gasps, speak to the film's dramatic impact.

In the end, this is a film for those who crave the thrill. Its standout cinematography and sound design offer a gripping portrayal of the racing world. While it may not convert everyone into lifelong F1 fans, it will undoubtedly spark some curiosity about the sport. And if you have the chance to see it on an IMAX screen - take it. As I would have no doubt it would be amazing. The larger the format, the more electrifying the experience.

That's it for now. Thanks for taking time to read my review. Happy watching and enjoy the show!

Shallow story. Writing is lame. Cinematography is good. I was looking forward to watching something from director Joseph Kosinski that was as good as TopGun. Instead, I felt like I was watching a cheesy bollywood movie, without the dancing. Corny lines, predictable plot, bad character development.

One constant irritation was the track announcers constantly explaining the strategy depicted in the movie, as if they had to hold the viewers hand and tell them why such and such happened. I guess it was assumed viewers were too stupid to figure things out themselves. "The driver is turning his steering wheel so he doesn't hit the car in front of him." I'm exaggerating, but that's what it sounds like. No nuance. Just an overused storyline with no nuance.

Just got out of the theater and i can honestly say this is a masterpiece of a movie in every way possible.

Joseph Kosinski.. whatever project you do next just take my money already, Honestly the man is a triumph for Cinema and he keeps giving us unforgettable experiences like Top Gun and this time Formula 1.

Now The movie of course isn't the greatest thing ever and it has its flaws with some cliches but i genuinely don't care.. I love F1 and been a long time fan and i wanted a movie that does the sport justice and it ABSOLUTELY delivered on that.

And finally i just wanna say that YOU don't get to experience stuff like this everyday and I'm grateful to have seen this movie in IMAX.. in its glory.

After Rush and Ford v Ferrari, F1 has become one of my favorite racing films. It's simple, sharp, and full of energy. Brad Pitt drops his another banger in recent years.

Joseph Kosinski's direction is a perfect fit for this world. He keeps the story tight and the visuals stunning, without losing the emotional core. His experience from Top Gun: Maverick really shows - he knows how to shoot speed.

The camera work during the racing scenes is excellent, making you feel like you're on the track. Cinematography is slick but not overdone.

Hans Zimmer's music adds a lot of emotion and tension. His score, combined with the raw engine sounds, creates a thrilling atmosphere. The sound design is top class - every turn, every gear shift hits hard.

It's not just a racing film - it has soul. A must-watch for fans of the sport and lovers of good cinema.
