AniInterview Sorry, this movie sucks

YouHeart I gave it a 7.5 out of 10

Humaira Grant It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.

Darin One of the film's great tricks is that, for a time, you think it will go down a rabbit hole of unrealistic glorification.

851222 Greetings from Lithuania."Senna" (2010) is an amazing documentary about a legend of F1 Ayrton Senna. This is truly remarkable and fascinating documentary that plays more like a great movie. The great director Asif Kapadia paced this movie superbly - at running time 1 h 40 min i was glued to my screen during a whole time, and that is more powerful because i'm not a fan of F1, don't ever watched it, but this is the power of "Senna" - you don't have to be a fan of sport to appreciate this truly remarkable movie.Overall, whether you like F1 or not, "Senna" is simply one of the best documentary movies i have ever seen. It is very informative, superbly paced, intriguingly and superbly crafted recreation of life Ayrton Senna and by the end it is impossible to not to be moved. Great movie.

Prismark10 When former F1 World champion James Hunt died at the age of 45 in 1993, Senna paid him a handsome tribute. Hunt by that time was better known as a F1 commentator for the BBC. Hunt was also one of the relatively few F1 champions to have died of a natural cause. He might have had a heart attack at the age of 45 but it was not the fate that befell Senna just a year later.Senna commonly raged against F1 politics whether it would be the organisers, administrators or F1 teams themselves. When he moved to Williams he might have hoped for a new start with a team that had maybe the best car in F1 at the time but fate was not so kindThe documentary focuses on Senna's racing career in F1, from his debut in the 1984 Brazilian Grand Prix to his death in an accident at San Marino in 1994. It relies primarily on archive race footage, home video provided by the Senna family, rather than retrospective interviews. The film has no formal commentary.This documentary directed by Asif Kapadia also deals with his battle with great rival (and sometimes team mate) Alain Prost, the wily racer known as the Professor. It was the natural racer against the more methodical, cerebral driver who might even resort to underhand tactics to get on top. But then again in F1 underhand tactics are common whilst racing or behind the scenes such as getting a drive on the best team, living on the edge of the rules regard the setting up of the car and even trumping your team mate.Still despite the great and bitter rivalry, Prost was a pall bearer in Senna's funeral.The documentary gives a good account of an era of motor racing from the mid 80s to the mid 90s and there is some great behind the scenes nuggets of information that people who watch F1 on TV might not had been aware of. If you are not fan of racing this might not be to your liking.

Dominic Nickel This film is an excellent representation of what Ayrton was. His driving skill would still be unrivaled today. This film accurately captures his passion and and dedication to the sport. The narration in in conjunction with the perfectly chosen footage helps to illustrate exactly why senna was so good. If you are looking for a thrilling, extremely interesting documentary, than this is for you. This film doesn't have to try to get your attention, it manages to draw you in without effort. When you are done watching you will wish the film wasn't over. Whether you like cars, racing, or just documentaries, this film will entertain and educate till the end.

tr91 'Senna' is such a powerful documentary. The way it has all been put together grabs your complete attention and it progresses at a good pace, we learn plenty along the way. I am a relatively new fan of F1 so I really wanted to see this to broaden my knowledge of the sport as well. After watching this I can certainly see how much things have changed. It was great to see and learn about Senna, who most laud as the greatest F1 driver ever. After watching this documentary I can certainly see why that is said. Everything about this was so fascinating. There was chills and thrills, laughter and joy as well as moments that make you all emotional. It was great to see footage of things I had never seen before, and I'd imagine that even people who watched F1 back then would still get something new out of this. It's a great insight to Senna's life, he seemed like a great guy. Some of the behind the scenes talking was a laugh and to see the rivalry he had was also great. I had no idea of the amount of support he had back home as well. This documentary was so powerful and well made that I felt like I was watching something that had just happened. I knew what the outcome would be of course but when the inevitable happened, I sat there shocked and hoping for him to move. Overall, this is just brilliant. I would recommend it to anyone, whether you're an avid F1 fan, a casual sports fan or even if you don't like sports at all. It's Senna's life and I think anyone could watch this and feel the emotion. 10/10.R.I.P Ayrton Senna.
