Schumacher

If you want to experience schumacher evolution from promising upstart to unbeatable winning machine from a more human perspective, go watch right now. Mind you that it's not perfect there are few shortcomings but you will not be disappointed.

Hanns-Bruno Kammertöns, Vanessa Nöcker, and Michael Wech's aptly-titled Michael Schumacher documentary, Schumacher, speeds through years and titles without diving too deeply into any significant details. It is a heartwarming and riveting reflection on the Formula 1 icon, supported by the Schumacher family and hugely benefits from their database of photographs and home movies, but it falls short of presenting a picture of the guy beyond what was already known.

Schumacher>Hamilton.

Anyone who disagrees is wrong.

A wonderfully inspiring sports documentary that focuses on the racing legend's iconic rise, Schumacher is a shining example of the good stuff that Netflix is capable of producing. The documentary really humanizes the larger-than-life Schumacher - as a friend, a colleague, a family member, and an excellent racecar driver - all perspectives well-rooted and covered in equal measure. Even his competent peers only had the greatest things to say about him. The makers thankfully do not relegate it to a sheer puff-piece by also showcasing Schumacher's vulnerabilities and struggles before he became 7-time World Champion. It also doesn't resort to excessive melodrama and focuses less on the accident that rendered him catatonic. Private matters stay strictly private. It's a competently made tribute piece that mires millennials in beautiful nostalgia.

Is 1h 52m enough to cover Schumacher's life? Not at all. Is it still worth a watch? Definitely.

Beautifully told story of his racing career, taking a look at all the key highlights including his battles with Senna, Villenueve, Hill & Hakkinen. His wife plays a predominant role in telling the story, giving great insight as to how Schumi was behind the cameras. Credit to anyone who can hold their emotion back for the ending of the documentary which talks about his current well being, a racer he was, but above all he was a Father to two beautiful children - a must watch for any sporting fan.
