Ratings and reviews

This is a fantastic film from the Highest point in F1. The rivalry between Senna & Prost is High Octane to say the least. This is from the days when it was ALL about the drivers & not just a boring - which team has the most money - like it is these days. I have watched this Fantastic Film multiple times & it NEVER fails to move me. RIP Ayrton. ♡ ☆

When it comes to docu-films this is up there as the best of the best. If you like formula one and your a fan of Ayrton Senna, then miss this at your peril. A classic about one of the greatest sporting legends that ever lived.

Avoided the 'talking head' format to much success. The story told simply through reports and commentary. Obviously there are some omissions but the film would be 10 hours long if they had covered every major event in an event filled life.
