For me, yea, I enjoyed the movie and could care less that some snowflake was triggered by it.

Cool, sounds like a movie for me! Thanks for this review! I have to support that! I order the popcorn....

Last time I was at the movies, was Nikki Lauda's "Rush" Formula 1 film.

As the National Post is a newspaper from my homeland, I was appalled and ashamed of that review...sorry I couldn't help myself in adding my 2 cents in the comment section underneath it. Other people took the reviewer to task over his narrow take on the film. Just dumb.

Well put Des! Some folks just don’t get it!!

Most of the movies today attempt to add a social justice twist, or rampant virtue signalling as part of the plot.

F vs F does neither and it is an unexpected #1 at the Box office.

For the vast majority of movies that want to be politically correct its "get woke - go broke".

I dont know about you guys, but back in the 70's drag racing was one of the most inclusive sports here in south Louisiana. Not many females but plenty of blacks. Other than the odd chest puffing on either side, it was one of the few times i remember no social restraint in mixing. Everyone just loved going fast.

All I have to say is Stone , Woods and Cook .

Same here in Detroit.

And - that is still the case.

(Except now we have plenty of females, too).

Went and saw the movie last night. While the subject matter is something most of us old motorheads know and love, I thought the acting was excellent. My 13 year old rolled over and told me he had "chills" during some of the scenes. The movie had me start to finish, and not just because it was a "car" flick

I went to see it yesterday with my wife. While she has become somewhat of a car chick, thanks to me, she didn't know much about the story. She loved the movie and even found herself getting choked up a few times.

I had no idea that Ken Miles was robbed of the win; what a shame. That guy from Ford was a total a-hole (if he truly was portrayed accurately).

I think Matt Damon and Christian Bale did an excellent job; I really enjoyed the movie.

I loved it when Carroll Shelby took Henry Ford II for a ride in was his $9 million investment .....I won’t say anymore don’t wanna spoil it for those that haven’t seen it!
Great storyline and movie!!
