"Ford v Ferrari" is the Oscar-worthy film that you can take both of your parents to that you'll probably enjoy right alongside them. This feels like one of those old fashioned sports underdog films, that aren't really made as often today as they once were. As such, there's something that's familiar about it, but I don't mean that as an insult.

There's not really all that much that complex or deep about it; it's a pretty straightforward story told in a straightforward way, which proves that you don't need to be deep or dark in order to make a great and entertaining film; just focus on the basics like a great script, great performances, excellent editing and all that, and you'll get a great film. It's all in the execution.

Despite its 150 minute runtime, never does a second feel wasted, so the film moves at lightning fast pace. This movie honestly feels like its 90 minutes long. The car racing scenes are phenomenal, the characters, while simplistic, are well defined and likable, and the film is consistently entertaining, including some genuinely funny moments.

"Ford v Ferrari" is just one of those films that just clicks together. Every element is done well, and they gel really well together. It may be the equivalent of cinematic comfort food, but it's genuinely well made cinematic comfort food.
