This is a 2010 British documentary directed by Asif Kapadia. The film depicts the life and death of Brazilian motor-racing champion Ayrton Senna, focusing on his racing career in Formula One---from his debut in the 1984 Brazilian Grand…

Terrific documentary! A sympathetic glimpse of the man and his life. Everyone really ought to watch this film.

Interesting, sort of. The problem lies in the film maker's misguided decision to restrict themselves archival footage as if that would render Sienna's portrait more "truthful" -- but ends up merely subjecting the viewer to 90 minutes of…

My only complaint about this film is the subtitles are way too small and trying to read them takes away from the story. Otherwise a very good film, even for someone who knows nothing about Formula One.

If you don't like cars or racing, you might find it slow, but it is a great documentary, just as entertaining as the Formula One movie Rush.

This is an example of the best kind of documentaries - even if you don't have a particular knowledge or interest in the subject, it MAKES you interested. Obviously a positive approach to the man, given the cooperation of his family, but…

An amazing film! You do not have to be a fan of F1 to feel the greatness of this amazing Man that I knew nothing about prior to my viewing of this film. A myriad of themes run through this film.

This may have been interesting if I cared at all about racing or ego but the slavish devotion of the fans and the filmmakers just seemed...out of proportion and a bit slow. I know it got great reviews but I personally would have probably…

You do not need to be a racing fan to enjoy this story of the desire to win. Good documentary film that captures the spirit of Senna and his drive to please God by pushing his abilities on the track to the outside edge.

I'm not a fan of Formula One race car driving, but I found this film captivating. All sports and the athlete's struggles and achievements within the game reflect the challenges of life and this is what the film portrays. Senna comes…

I was a huge fan of Ayrton Senna and followed his career from it's beginnings with the shoestring-budgeted Toleman team in 1984 to his demise at Imola driving one of Frank Williams' supercars on May 1, 1994. This movie had a lot going for…

A biography of perhaps the most talented Formula driver of all time. He was on another level. Rare footage of him driving a second rate car on the edge of crashing is incredible. He was passionate, honest, and religious; all…

It was O.K for a home TV movie. I was entertained and interesting. But it was NOT worth the long library wait or the price to rent from a Red Box.

Spectacular, even if you have no interest in racing or cars. The footage is truly amazing, with no talking heads to slow it down.
