It may frustrate those allergic to obvious storytelling, but the technical quality and narrative know-how that Kosinski brings to the project make it some of the better racing cinematic experiences in the last couple of years. [Full review in Spanish]

For racing fans, F1: the movie is as close as it gets to driving the perfect lap.

Full Review | Jul 30, 2025

...racing films that have turned themselves into cult objects...have only sent me into a long yawn. And I'm afraid F1 is no exception. Especially when the track is littered with those obstacles called clichés. [Full review in Spanish]

Full Review | Jul 28, 2025

A project like this, with its gigantic budget and myriad corporate connections, is unlikely to deviate from ... from cliches and formulas. It can’t afford to, as far as its producers are concerned. Too much is at stake to let art and complexity interfere.

If Formula One racing gets a big boost in the next year, just know it was because officials had the good sense to make this very effective Pitt stop.

Full Review | Original Score: 3/4 | Jul 24, 2025

'F1: The Movie' only lives up to half of its title, and not the Movie half.

Full Review | Original Score: 5/10 | Jul 24, 2025

F1: The Movie has the formula for success. It’s got the fuel. Cruise must be smiling as Pitt takes the checkered flag.

Full Review | Original Score: 3/4 | Jul 24, 2025

F1 starts to feel bloated and repetitive at a certain point as the film runs for 156 minutes. It’s a fun ride though, containing plenty of blockbuster thrills due to its exceptional visual and sound design.

Full Review | Jul 23, 2025

F1 is not unpleasant to look at, if you like racing, you’ll probably like this film just for its perspective from the cockpit. But beyond pure spectacle, it’s an empty experience.

Full Review | Jul 23, 2025

The characters – especially those played by star Brad Pitt and Kerry Condon (The Banshees of Inisherin) – are engaging, and director Joseph Kosinski (Top Gun: Maverick) knows how to shoot action scenes that leave your heart in your throat.

Full Review | Original Score: 3.5/4 | Jul 22, 2025

It ends up being a stunning audiovisual experience —a spectacle that works better "in the moment" than in retrospect, but still deserves to be seen on the biggest possible movie screen. [Full review in Spanish].

Full Review | Original Score: 4/5 | Jul 20, 2025

Whether you’re here for the speed or the story, F1 delivers just enough of both. It’s not flawless, but like a last-lap overtake, it gets your heart pounding when it matters most.

Full Review | Original Score: 4/5 | Jul 18, 2025

Even when succumbing to the … cliches, Kosinski delivers where it counts, in the jaw-dropping spectacle of Formula 1 racing — its exotic locales, its ostentatious spending, its endless media hype, and the sheer excitement of “car go fast, vroom vroom.”

Full Review | Original Score: 3/4 | Jul 18, 2025

"F1" proves that Joseph Kosinski has a singular ability to tell a full story within an action sequence, but the film also butts up against its star's persona in very interesting ways.

Full Review | Jul 18, 2025

Go for the incredible ride and the stunning craftsmanship on display, but temper your expectations of the story. There is no emotional epiphany to be had, but you will get one hell of a show.

Full Review | Original Score: 4/5 | Jul 17, 2025

The most thrilling auto racing film yet.

Full Review | Original Score: B+ | Jul 17, 2025

This is no restrained and thoughtful engagement with the philosophy of the sport. This is a high-speed and fantastical exploration of the thrills of the competition. And, at this, “F1” succeeds.

Full Review | Jul 17, 2025

It's not a movie for hardcore F1 fans. It's a movie for the masses.

Full Review | Original Score: A- | Jul 17, 2025

Shot during actual race weekends — smuggled into 15-minute intervals between live F1 sessions — the production is itself a kind of motorsport.

Full Review | Original Score: 3/4 | Jul 15, 2025

When the tires are on the track, “F1” soars with visual mastery and pulse pounding action. But when it spends a majority of its overly long runtime outside of the race, it slams on the brakes hard and comes to a screeching halt.
