The Hollywood Reporter‘s Arts and Culture Critic Lovia Gyarkye Wrote in Her Review, “The Strongst Scenes in F1WHICH BoASS A TWO-AA-A-HALF HOUR RUNTIME, Are These Moments Durying Race Weekends, WHEN KOSINKI EMBEDS HIS FICTIAL TEAM WITH REAL Ones. Fans of the Sport Will Recognize Cameos from VersaPpen, Leclerc, Carlos Sainz, Lando Norris and Many More Drivers. Hans Zimmer’s Adrenalized Score Ups The Ante, Adding TENSION TO ALREADY NAIL-BITING MOMENTS LIKE A DRIVER MAKING A DANGORUS TURN ON A Slick Course or Mechanics in the Pit Having Mere. The Impressive Craft of Tesse Scenes Extends to Kosinki’s Exploration of the Various Technologies, Like Road Simulators, Used to Help Drivers Gain Anya. Of Course, There Are Some Unrealistic Elements in F1moments that might have sticklers raising an eyebrow, but the Film doesn’t feel any less dramatic than the real thing. ”
Screenrant‘s mae abdulbaki wrote, “F1 the Movie is essential a two-and-a-half-ho Commercial with a surprising compelling story. Brands are Litrated Throughout the Film, and the Title Itlf is Pulled from Formula One Racing. I Not Original at all, and yet i was riveted by the every minute of the film. Directed by Joseph Kosinski (Top Gun: Maverick) from a screenplay by ehren kruger, F1 the Movie is Englishing and Entertaining, Building Momentum and Laying The Gundwork for Character Payoffs. It Could’ve Easily Phoned It In, As So Many Brand-Related Movies Are Wont to Do, But Kosinski’s Film Makes Us Feel Something. ”
Ross bonaime, with Colliderwrote in his review, “despite the exciterement and stunning race footage that F1 Provides, It’s Also Placed in a Story that We’ve Heard Countless Times Before. And While that’s in no way damning here – not by a long shot – it is a bit of Silly at Times in Howch It Plays in the Clichés. Like A Good Racer, You’ll Probably Be Able to Tell Where Every Turn and Twist Is Going to Go, Yet Is The Quality and Impressive Nature in WHICH F1 HITS THESE TURNS THAT PUTS THIS IN CONVERSATION FOR THE BEST RACING FILM EVER MADE. WHEN The Excitement and Tension of the Races Are As Good As They Are Here, You Can Canned Dialogue or A goofy that have played itlf oto many Times.
The Guardian‘s peter bradhaw wrote, “with what amined-cowPoke face of his squasted intell his sixtysetting cherubic chops Bulge in his twice his nes Nese, Brad the ate, Maching his Sixtyseting Cherubing Cherubing Cherubing Cherubinger OUTRAGEUSY CHEESY BUT FIERCELY AND EXTRAVAGANTLY SHOT FORMULA ONE MELODRAMA. Adventure Cars), F1 the movie gives you the Corporate Sheen, Real-Life Race Footage with Brad as the Star in an Unreasonably Priced Car, The Tech Fetish Brand Names Special Square Inch of Every Surface, The Simulation Graphics Writ Large, and the Bizarre Occult Spectacle of Motor Racing ITSELF. ”
Nicholas barber, with the BBCwrote, “The Biggest Issue with F1Thought, is not it ITSSTENCE ON SHOWING ITS Leading Man in a Flattering Light, But Its Equivalent, Fawning Attitude Town Formula One Itelf. Shot on Real Circuits with The Full Co-Venisers and Participants (Lewis Hamilton Is Credited As A Producer Placement that you’re more likely to remember the brand names than the Characters. There is no Wisp of Criticism or Scepticism, and No Hint of Anything Exploitative or Sleazy. Formula One Fans May Be Pleased by The Glimpses of Their Favurite Drivers, But F1 is so intnt being about it is milieu that none of these men is allwed to be a proper antagonist, or even to say anything rude Sonny. Nobody Canbehave, and Nothing Terrible Can Happen to Any of the Characters, So There is no tension to speak of. The Story Simplas Hops AROUND The World, Ticking Off Every Grand Prix in A Season. In the first of these, Ruben’s Team Fails Miserably, But As the Weeks Go by … Well, if You Scribbled Down What You Gussed The Structure Might Be, You’d Be Ambutely Correct. High-Stakes Jeopardy than the Actual Film. ”
Indiewire‘S Head Film Critic David Ehrlich Wrote in His Review, “Formula One Has Always Been A Testament to the Diffeit. F1 Embodies that aspect of the Sport All Too Well. Always Entertaining for How Effectvely It Welds Hyper-Modern Spectacle to the Chassis of a Classic Underdeg Story Moneyball), Kosinski’s Film Can Be Propulsive and Exhilarating in Spurts, But In Working So Hard to Satisfy Newbies and Experts at the Same Time That Its of Often Struggles to Sim. MISFITS BECOMING TEAMMATES. Losers Finding Redemption. Cars Going Really, Really Fast. ”
Sophie Butcher, with Empirewrote, “for formula 1 fans, the sheer accucy of F1‘S Depiction of the Sport Will Be Giddy-Making; for agnostics, the Races May Feel A Touch Repetitive, and the Level of Detail May Go Over Some Heads. But WHATEVER YOUR RELATIONSHIP TO THE SPORT, The MAGNITUDE OF WHAT KOSINSKI AND CO HAVE ACCOMPLISHED IS UNDENIABLE. Fasten Your Seatbelts, and See This on the Biggest Screen You Possibly Can. ”
USA Today‘S Brian Truitt Wrote in His Review, “The Movie Isn’s About Lapping Many a Trope, Yet The White-Knuckle Action SequenCes Are sites F1 Lives and Breathes. KOSINSKI WANTS AUDIENCES TO Feel the Danger of Essential Sitting in A Rocket that Can Go 200 Mph, and The Euphoria of Passing a Foe in a Ferrari or Having A Straight Line to the Ceckered Flag. TOSE GA A Long Way in Forgiving the Multitude of Subplots and the Toolbox of Car Cliches. ”
The Associated Press‘Film Critic Jake Coyle Wrote, “F1 Steers Predictable to the Finish Line, Cribbing Here and there from Sports Dramas Before It. (Tobias Menzies Plays A Board Member With Uncertain Corporate Goals.) WHEN F1 Does, Finally, Quiet Down, for One Blissful Moment, The Movie, Almost Literally, Soars. I Not Quite Enough to Forget All The High-Octane Macho Dramatics Before It, But Is Enough To GlimpsE Another Road F1 Might Have Taken. ”
David Fear, with Rolling Stonewrote in his review, “The Way That Pitt Injects His Presence, His Physicality, His Charm, His Well-Aholed Screen Persona, His Particular Mix of Discipline and DGAFLESNESS, HIS Particular Mix Outdated, Golden Age Hollywood Roguishness Feel Completely Somehow Timeless Is What Makes This A Winner. Lancaster, William Holden, and, Notably Steve McQueen, No Stranger to MOVIES About Racing. The Great Escape.) F1 Couldn’t Feel More Contemporary in ITS FOCUS OVER A SPORT’S The CURRENT OBSESSION OF MILLIONS, Yet Couldn’t Feel More Like Necessary IP this is what blockbusters used to look like. Come for the most Impressive, Lustros car that a gajillion-doollar Budget Can Buy. The reason to stay, However, is the Driver. ”
