Review of Ferrari

Ferrari (2023)
7/10
good biopic
29 January 2024
In 1947, Enzo Ferrari (Adam Driver) and his wife Laura Ferrari (Penélope Cruz) started their auto company. It's 10 years later. Husband and wife are still co-owners of the company which needs investment from one of the big car companies. They're in a battle with Maserati. Their marriage is in far worst shape after the death of their only son. Enzo and his mistress Lina Lardi (Shailene Woodley) have a secret son. Lina needs Enzo to acknowledge and give their son his last name.

It's a biopic directed by Michael Mann. There is a duel between Enzo's personal life and professional life. This is not just the standard sports biopic or business biopic or a family biopic. It is a mix of all of that and more. Some of it does lose focus. I myself find the family drama very compelling. The racers get a bit lost although Mann has a great eye for racing action. All in all, this is a very good watch.
