Went to the 11:50am show this morning. On some levels a "good" film, on other levels "great." It was obviously written/produced by people with a genuine affection for Senna. Ron Dennis came off as quite a sympathetic character (which surprised me a bit) and Prost of course was the villian with him coming around at the end.

Certainly a few tear-inducing moments. The g/f cried a bunch, mostly driven by the soundtrack. She is an F1 fan though (my indoctrination) so she was into the film. I don't think that a non-fan would really get as much out of the movie. You really have to kind of understand the circus to get what made him special.

One highlight - young Ruebens meeting Senna for the first time. Hard to believe he's now the old man on the grid. Also no Schumacher in the film other than passing mention towards the end. I think they didn't want to get anywhere near the "would Senna have beaten Michael" argument.
