Brad Pitt’s much-awaited racing drama F1 is already shifting gears in the right direction, with its first press screening earning enthusiastic reviews. Directed by Joseph Kosinski of Top Gun: Maverick fame, the film is being hailed as a high-octane crowd-pleaser with comparisons being drawn to Kosinski’s earlier blockbuster.
After a 10-minute clip received a mixed response at Comic-Con, the full film has reportedly won critics over. Variety’s Clayton Davis praised the film’s technical excellence, specifically highlighting Claudio Miranda’s cinematography and urging the Oscars to “not do dirty with him again.” Miranda, who also worked on Top Gun: Maverick, brings a similar visual polish to F1, making the film a visual treat on the racetrack.
Critics are lauding the film’s gripping action, emotional depth, and star power. Jazz Tangcay wrote, “It’s Pearce, down the insideeeee” — WOW! @F1Movie is an action-packed, thrilling look at the world of F1 racing, with lots of grit. The sound, score, and cinematography are flawless. Damson Idris and Brad Pitt are great! Absolutely Obsessedddddd.”
Tim Chan shared, “Just got out of #F1TheMovie screening: film was more emotional than I had anticipated, Brad Pitt is hotter than ever, soundtrack (with Tate! Roddy! Rosé!) is perfect accompaniment to the race scenes.” Nerdist’s Maude Garrett called it “so freaking good” and even joked she may have liked it more had she been an F1 fan.
In F1, Brad Pitt stars as Sonny Hayes, a former Formula 1 champ who returns to the circuit years after a career-halting accident. He’s asked to mentor a young driver, played by Damson Idris, competing for the underdog Apex Grand Prix team. The cast also includes Kerry Condon and Javier Bardem.
Produced by Jerry Bruckheimer and F1 legend Lewis Hamilton, F1 reflects real racing culture with Hollywood shine. During a press event, Kosinski said he was inspired by Netflix’s Drive to Survive, especially its focus on underdog teams.
