No fear. No limits. No equal.

The remarkable story of Brazilian racing driver Ayrton Senna, charting his physical and spiritual achievements on the track and off, his quest for perfection, and the mythical status he has since attained, is the subject of Senna, a documentary feature that spans the racing legend's years as an F1 driver, from his opening season in 1984 to his untimely death a decade later.

With such supercharged material under the hood, a magnetic man behind the wheel and a nimble director manning the pits, Senna is simply the greatest sports film I have ever seen.

MatePolcz 9.00/10.00

Senna is something I wouldn't normally watch, because I don't really care about Formula 1 and I don't watch documentaries often. I love that the storytelling is very character focused and emotional besides being informative. As I said, I don't watch F1 and other racing sports, but this was intriguing from the second it started. It's quite subjective, which could be a negative aspect in some people's eyes, but that's what makes it emotional. The cinematography is obviously controlled by the amazing editing, because they could not decide to film new footage. I think they selected great images, but I certainly don't know what isn't in the film. Senna is a great surprise, I liked it more than I thought I would and I almost cried at the end.

Senna is what film critics might call a TMSI movie, as in: Trust me, see it.
