Senna Reviews
A perfect documentary. A must watch and can be watched by all.
Simplesmente perfeito é uma série que mesmo pra quem não conhece o Senna vai entender sua história e o porquê dele ser o nosso verdadeiro herói, uma pessoa que desde sempre era determinado a vencer e mais do que isso humilde, não tinha medo de dizer o que tinha que ser dito e graças a dele houve muitas mudanças no alto imobilismo, a cena que ele vai ver seu fã no Brasil e sobre muitas coisas da história é bem explorado tem coisas que eu nem sabia e a série tem uns efeitos perfeitos, quando mostra as corridas você fica até tenso como se você estivesse dentro da pista porque a serie te conecta, simplesmente não tenho o que reclamar
Simplesmente espetacular para todos os amantes da F1 que nasceram antes dos anos 80.
Phenomenal! I love this movie. It set the bar high for documentary films, maybe too high. It is a work of art based on fact. So excellent!
Amazing movie. Actually had me, impressed, emotional and just fully invested in someone that lived and his events that happened almost 30 years ago. Just an amazing expression of his life. A caring and sometimes misunderstood racing driver who, for me, is the actual Greatest Of All Time.
Fantastic documentary - the pursuit of excellence is wrought with danger.
Formula 1 seems like the weirdest sport to watch as a fan. On the one hand, you've got marvels of engineering, delicate control, dramatic personalities, and feats of daring as drivers risk serious injury going around a diverse range of exotic track circuits. On the other, you've got a pedantic point system to judge by, and it's really the only sport where outcomes seem to be routinely determined by actual legal battles. The flickering, flawed first-person nature of early '90s F1 racing footage hardly takes away from the excitement of this documentary (for me, an introduction to the sport), and that tone is contrasted against a genuine character study of a complex figure that was a mix of compassion, talent, ego, and faith. As with any documentary based on events relatively close to the time of release, Senna doesn't seem to have satisfied all those that actually appear in the film (Alain Prost in particular has criticized the film for the simplification of his relationship with the titular character, and the lack of a reconciliation prior to Senna's death). But where this film lacks in larger context, it makes up for it in sincerity and passion touching on Senna himself as a passionate and daring individual with the ambition to match his skill. Excellent editing making use of a broad range of source footage thanks to the illustrious profile of its subject. While it wasn't a sport that I personally felt a lot of connection to, it didn't matter in the end; director Asif Kapadia delivers not only excitement but empathy and care in his portrait of one of the most beloved athletes to have suffered a fatal accident in competition. Next time, I'll have to find a version with less dodgy subtitles... (3.5/5)
Masterpiece! monstrando lo bueno, lo malo, lo humano...lo emocionante, la adrenalina, el idolo, el triste, el villano, el heroe...QEPD (vistas 1)
Special Effects: 1,0/Sound Effects: 1,0/Acting: 1,0/Story: 2,0
Brilliant documentary! Doesn't matter if you are a Formula One enthusiast or not, you will love it!
A Documentary that clearly shows who Senna was, moreover, can be considered one of the best sports films
A well-written Netflix documentary that did Senna's life story justice. Gave me lots of information and insight into a Brazilian superstar. 4/5. A must-watch for those interested in Formula One racing or Brazil.
