Early Reviews for "F1": What Critics Are Saying Ahead of Its New York Premiere
Excitement is building as the highly anticipated film "F1" prepares for its World Premiere at Radio City Hall in New York City today. Directed by the talented Joseph Kosinski and featuring a star-studded cast, including Brad Pitt, Damson Idris, Javier Bardem, and Kerry Condon, this film has already begun to resonate with audiences, as evidenced by early reviews from critics following a press screening last week.
Unprecedented Praise for "F1"
So far, the feedback has been overwhelmingly positive, with many reviewers praising the film as a thrilling spectacle that marries action with heart. In fact, it seems virtually impossible to find a negative review at this stage.
Scheduled for international release on June 25 and in North America on June 27, "F1" has been developed in close collaboration with Formula 1 itself. Filming took place on real race weekends, and seven-time champion Lewis Hamilton served as an executive producer to ensure an authentic experience.
What Critics Are Saying
A Marvel of Cinematic Craft
Drew Taylor, a senior writer for The Wrap, described "F1" as “absolutely incredible,” emphasizing its ability to blend entertainment with emotional depth. He stated, “[It’s] one of the coolest, most entertaining movies you’ll probably ever see, but none of that sizzle takes away from its soul.”
In a similarly enthusiastic tone, Jazz Tangcay from Variety commended the film for being “action-packed” and a thrilling look into the world of F1 racing. “The sound, score, and cinematography are flawless,” she added, praising the performances of both Pitt and Idris.
A Must-See Summer Blockbuster
According to Austin Burke from Rotten Tomatoes, "F1" is a “pulse-racing spectacle from start to finish." He lauded its outstanding sound design and heartfelt narrative, declaring it “THE must-see movie of the summer.” The chemistry between Brad Pitt and Damson Idris was particularly highlighted, further enhanced by a lively supporting cast.
In a light-hearted yet genuine take, Maude Garrett from Nerdist shared her thought: "It has all the adrenaline, heart, pacing, story, and character," leading her to wonder if she might even be transformed into a fan of F1 racing.
Perfect for Summer Viewing
Mark Daniell, National Entertainment Editor for The Sun, echoed the sentiment that you don’t need to be an F1 aficionado to enjoy "F1." He remarked, “This is the perfect summertime blockbuster packed with emotion, action, and a killer soundtrack.”
Griffin Schiller, creator and host of Film Speak, went even further, declaring the film as “THE cinematic event of the summer!” He hailed the collaboration of Kosinski, Miranda, and Zimmer for a jaw-dropping spectacle. Schiller also praised Pitt’s performance as “captivating,” highlighting the film’s exploration of themes that resonate with audiences: passion, ego, and the complexities of the celebrity lifestyle.
Experience "F1" on the Big Screen
With such high expectations, “F1” is shaping up to be more than just a film; it’s a cinematic experience that demands to be seen on the biggest screen possible. Set to immerse audiences in a world of racing and emotion, this film is poised to leave its mark on the summer box office and beyond.
