Ford v Ferrari is one one of the most exhilarating films of 2019 and audiences can now bring the film home today on 4K Ultra HD, Blu-ray, or DVD.
Listen, I’m not a racing fan by any means whatsoever. However, this did not stop me from being on the edge of my seat throughout the entire film. I didn’t even mind the 152 minute running time mostly because I didn’t even notice it! My cap is tipped to the editing team of Andrew Buckland, Michael McCusker, and Dirk Westervelt. Their work does not go unnoticed here. It ought to be highly applauded because of the film’s run time. Obviously, it’s exhilarating to watch cars race very fast on the screen. This also speaks to the film’s pacing. We’re clearly having too much fun watching the film!
Oscar-nominated cinematographer Phedon Papamichael reteams with Mangold to collaborate on yet another film. It isn’t just that the cinematography is top-notch here but racing scenes in general have to be among the toughest shoots in the world. Cars have to be speeding north of 100 miles per hour! Sometimes, one just has to sit back and wonder just how they shot it!
Whether you’re a racing lover or not, Matt Damon and Christian Bale help bring Ford v Ferrari home in an exhilarating thrill ride.
