Captivating movie !

Tells a fascinating and unsettling true story, and does so well, without pretending to have all the answers.

It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.

The biggest problem with this movie is it’s a little better than you think it might be, which somehow makes it worse. As in, it takes itself a bit too seriously, which makes most of the movie feel kind of dull.

Journey to Le Mans is a documentary presenting team Jota's quest to win Le Mans in the LMP2 division.Much of the race footage is presented in slow motion, and the melodramatic soundtrack is unrelenting. These aspects betray the innate excitement of high-speed racing. The film doesn't even present a summary of the race in any desirable form. I have to believe an under-produced bland documentary would have been much more interesting.What it does somewhat well is profile the drivers of team Jota. The raw footage is top-notch, alas the actually racing clips are very short.My one word summary would be "boring", which is a very unfortunate description of the pinnacle of high-speed auto racing.

I know nothing about Le Mans so I had no preconceived ideas about what to expect from this. To say I enjoyed it would be an understatement!A fantastic insight into the event and what it takes to get there and to compete.Some have said it was very one sided as it only followed one team, and that is correct, but that is what it was meant to be about anyway. Enjoy it for what it is. (Warning: TT3D is the same, so don't complain about that one when you see it!!!!)What really made this a great watch though was the cinematography! Superb camera use, footage and techniques. Loved it!If you're a racing fan, then I highly recommend this....

How documentarians always manage to film something when a big event is about to unfold is beyond me. This was a good movie and gave a great inside look into Le Mans. The direction is decent, however, you don't get the full feel of the races they show or the speed these cars achieve. It could have been aided from the use of Go-Pro or their equivalent in this instance. I also would have liked to have had more of an inside look into what is JOTA and more background information about the racers,Only major gripe is the soundtrack is terrible, it belongs in a Disney movie.

This is a great documentary/film. It does exactly what it says on the tin and doesn't pretend to be something it's not. Motor racing is something that is usually seen only from the track side and from the driver's perspective, but finally a racing film where we don't just see the unreachable glamour of the sport but the blood sweat and tears of all those involved (probably too covered in motor oil to appear on screen in Hollywood blockbusters!), because surprise surprise, without mechanics, engineers, pit crew etc. etc. etc. there would be no racing! Cleverly put together, amazing cinematography, some amazing original music, totally enjoyed and highly recommended...
