Good friend Ann and I go to a movie almost every week,
we usually combine it with lunch before or after.
Today we saw ...
"Ford v. Ferrari has no ambition except to entertain, and it does so exceedingly well. That’s not something I take for granted. A great true-life story, a sharply written screenplay,
superior production values and a perfect cast are the basic ingredients, deftly orchestrated by director James Mangold."
Neither Ann nor I usually are up to see car movies,
but this was worth the exception.
Ann gave it a 12/10, I gave it an A+.
I wouldn't post about it if it wasn't, in our opinions, great.
"It’s rare to find a mainstream Hollywood film that works on so many levels. Ford v. Ferrari fills the screen with breathtaking action scenes and equally provocative character development.
