I cannot recommend this highly enough, a very gifted young man, achieving amazing results and sadly, at the pinnacle of greatness his life was tragically cut short.

A remarkable documentary about a truly driven individual in pursuit of excellence.

A brilliant film about an extraodinary tallent. If you want a glimpse into a life of dedication and drive, this is the one for you. Inspirational.

I am a keen go-karter and I am in the Scottish championships and I watched this film and it inspired me to focus. The qualifying laps that he did inspired me to become faster on track. I wasn't alive when senna was around but his legacy has lived on to the current generation and this is shown by the number of people who have watched the fantastic film

As a boy a grew up watching Ayrton "dance" his way around the f1 circuits, absolutely captivated by his performance each time he got behind the wheel.

It's hard to believe that 20 years have passed since that fateful weekend in Imola.

This film focuses on the life on Ayrton Senna and also succeeds in communicating the reasons why those of us in the Motorsport industry all agree that Senna was in a class of his own.

RIP Ayrton Senna.

Was very moved by Senna's story. Impressed by how actual footage, videos and photos of Senna were used. A very realistic and moving portrayal of the greatest Formula 1 racer of all time.

Story of a legend - worth watching for the footage of taking hand off steering wheel to change gear

Sad and tragic storey at the end, but what an excellent driver He was. He took driving as an art.

Brilliant.

Even if you have little to no interest in Formula 1, you should see this film. Gives great insight into Ayrton Senna, not only his ambition and his driving skills, but also his humility and his desire to give back and help those who were less fortunate. Makes you wonder what he would have achieved outside the racing track. Very moving.

Like motor racing or not... A must see.

Emotional, entertaining, educational... Tragic.

A truly moving and inspiration documentary / movie ..... Spiritual, emotional, gripping, tense - a MUST see film - one of my greats . RIP Ayrton Senna

Awesome stunning exciting and humbling….

Truly inspiring

This is a great movie and recommend it to all at the end I was crying my eyes out and also he changed F1 forever plus he had such a good personality.

Amazing story. The measure of the man was how many souls he touched whilst putting his life on the line every time he got in a car, like MP4/4 with 1494cc, no technical aids and a manual gear box, driving single handed around toughest street circuit, Monaco. Now put any driver of any era in the same car trying to achieve the same results. The car failed, the driver passed into the consciousness of untold millions. F1 will never be the same again when men raced super cars, now it is boys racing electronic toys. Watch learn & live by his example to be the best we can in our lives for all the we choose to do.

Great film watched it on the telly a few months back - but £9.99 - come on!

I wasn't a Senna fan while he was alive - I was a Mansell fan (drove with his heart on his sleeve and a chip on his shoulder) and loathed Prost for all his politcal wrangling and dealing, too clinical in his approach to racing - but always acknowledge that Senna was truly a breed apart behind the wheel. In the years since his death I've grown to appreciate his ability more and more to the point where I consider him one of my heroes, for his actions on and off the track. I was therefore quite apprehensive about watching this film and the light in which it might paint him.

Asif Kapadia has delivered a masterpiece - it doesn't pull any punches about Senna, and is pretty frank about Prost, but is so finely balanced that you can appreciate all sides of their complicated relationship. And all the while there is the message that Senna was man born to race - and would not stop no matter what the cost ultimately would be. And the footage used of - lets call it what it is - people dying in F1 crashes, is shown in the correct context and is still difficult for any true F1 fan to watch, even 20 years later. Dan Wheldon's and Marco Simoncelli's deaths are brutal reminders that these are still dangerous sports.

A cynic would say tht this is just interviews and footage cleverly editted, however that would be missing the point. The interviews show those involved still miss the man, are still affected by his death.

I'm not ashamed to say that the tears were streaming down my face watching this. Nevermind the best documentary Oscar, this should be on the shorlist for Best Film and deserves every accolade it receives.

A truly brilliant piece of film making

Thought provoking and heart wrenching. Truly one of the best and most beautiful films I have ever seen.

It's a must watch!

I mean this completely when I say that this was the best film that I have ever seen. First film that has made me think deeply. Great documentary.

I was never really a big fan of Ayrton Senna back in his heyday but I found this film compelling, informative and very moving. No-one can speculate how successful he would be in today's F1 scene as the cars have come so far since then. The man was a rare and natural talent who had the love and admiration of his people and colleagues. His institute is still helping thousands of under privileged Brazilians every year. His legacy will continue long after many of today's drivers have been forgotten.

Senna was simply overrated as a driver . There would be no place for him in modern formula 1 , this documentary is as poor as some of his efforts .

Not only was Senna a first class race driver but also a first class man.

This is a must watch for F1 fans. For anyone who isn't in to sport watching this might help you see why billions of people the world over invest so heavily in the sport of choice. Basically to find a character who transcends the sport and becomes an inspiration.

A must watch for any F1 fan. Senna = Legend…..

I am a huge Senna fan and have watched the whole documentary five times already. The bit where he wins in Brazil I must have watched about 30 times already. I love this documentary. Someone commented it focuses too much on the rivalry and so it should.... Those who followed Senna know the rivalry with Prost was a major feature of his career. Exceptional film of an exceptional human being.

Great film would recommend it 100% not just to F1 fanatics but to any one with a passion for something they love, it has a lot of life lessons as well

This is truly a good in depth look at a Senna, very close to the life and heart of a true legend, well made and shows in great detail what true unique person Senna really was, the end shows just how loved this man was and still is, There will never be another like him in F1.

I was never interested in formula 1 before (although my dad does)but after I watched this I'm going to start to watch it.R.I.P. Senna you are a LEGEND and I don't say that often!

A truly inspirational film. Even if you have no interest in racing, Sennas mindset towards competition, life and success has to be admired. One of the greatest sportsmen of all time.

The film itself is very well put together, and tells the story between senna and prost brilliantly, so there really is a great story going on as well as the story of who senna was. Legend

I always loved watching ayrton race as a child. So moving...

For starters - you don't need an interest in Formula One Racing to appreciate this film!

It is a really good documentary about the life of Ayrton Senna and it had me gripped from start to finish. It's a good mix of interviews (with Senna and those who knew him), interspersed with clips of his racing career, news items, and home movies.

His life story is very engrossing, and the film has left me feeling sad that this man is no longer in the world, he struck me as a wonderful human being.

I remember the race day and the events as they unfolded but this film is much, much harder to watch. This film truly underlines a genius talent borne with extraordinary humility that was not always portrayed when he was alive. Don't rent the film, buy it as you'll want to watch it more than once.

I was born in 1990 and I honestly didn't know who senna was, but I'm a fan of current f1. From the first minute of this film I was on the edge of my seat. The way the film was put together was perfect, I doubt it could have been done any better. The man himself can only be described as a legend and unfortunately racing isn't as exciting as it used to be, and i doubt that anyone could ever match Senna's caliber as a driver. I, regrettably, rented the film in HD. I wish I had brought it because it's a film I would watch again and again and something I would definitely recommend to friends and family. It's worth the money that iTunes want too, honestly, even if you don't like f1, get this film, you will not regret it.

A brilliant portrait of a man that was not just a great racing driver but an inspiring human being. This documentary doesn't just get your adrenalin going it also breaks your heart. Brilliant - buy it, rent it, it doesn't matter, just watch it or you'll miss something really special.

A brilliantly crafted film that brings the exciting and dramatic world of formula one racing to life. Unmissable insight into racing legend Ayrton Senna created from public, broadcast and private video archives. Literally sets your heart racing.

This documentary couldn't be done better. It was sad and emotional which makes you feel complied into reality.

It is just amazing and astonishing.

I feel very different after watching this and if you don't know the story of the great Aryton Senna, Watch this.

Simply he best film I have ever seen, ayrton senna was a sporting sensation and this movie shows it

What an amazing pleasure to get to know such a person by footage that was general documentation. A portrait of the man behind the major movement of the sports and the man that touched the hearts of so many people of Brazil in the late 80's and the early 90's. It's an absolute emotional journey a life changing film almost. Not much grips you like Senna did in our modern world, with excitement and anticipation. I have never been moved to tears for someone I didn't know anything about 1h and 50 min before.

documentaries are not normally my kind of film but ignore that and focus on the person this is about and top gear's review of ayrton senna, this really is definitely worth buying or renting, a very well mate film

Simply a legend,the greatest F1 driver ever.Fantastic movie.Still missing you Ayrton.RIP.

Top documentary about the greatest racing driver ever to have sat in a car

absolutely superb , moved me to tears!, much more than a sport biography, senna was not only the greatest driver , but was also a great man !

What an incredible man

Simply one of the best documentaries around. I appreciate for some people Katya k it is probably uses long words and so they cannot understand what the film is about. It is a tribute to one of the best racers around who only wanted one thing and that was to win. The man was a genius, not everyone liked him but you cannot fail to admire the guy.

could not rated this film highly enough

Time to reflect.. Highly recommended if you are looking for deeper meanings in movies based on a true story!

As a Relatively new fan of f1 I didn't know if I would like this film. But was hooked from start to finish, grate for anyone to watch f1 fan or not!

Really good movie. Recommended!!

Must see for any F1 fan
