The movie is surprisingly entertaining, when you fall for the nostalgia factor. It is a very nicely made European movie, with a lot of love for details.
At the same time, don't expect too much, this not the European Fast and the Furious, or Ford Vs Ferrari.
I am not a maniac of old European movies, but I love classic cars, and I have a nostalgia to the slow storytelling of European TV series from the 80s (see e.g, Schwarzwaldklinik). The movie offers that spirit without being slow or old. Its pace is entertaining by modern standards, as long as you accept that the family story takes over the podium from action scenes.
The movie brings back (really old) classic cars and actors, like Remo Girone (from the Iconic TV series La Piovra), who stands out of the cast. The main actors are quintessential Italian characters, something that I never liked, but in this movie I could somehow relate to them.
So there are lovely cars, family drama and a strange mixture of elements that might work surprisingly well.
