    Keep fighting Schumi

    Schumacher>Hamilton.

    Anyone who disagrees is wrong.

    Yep, this ends up in tears

    I won't say much, the film reminded me why we still miss this guy. He's one of those few chosen ones who are legends on their field and for a good reason.

    This is a beautiful tribute to him and I wish for his family to remain as beautiful as I saw them, united and proud. He built a strong, protective shield through out the years, one which he now needs the most. I hope for his recovery, to never see Corinnas tears on her face, or his childrens' sad eyes ever again.

    I'm starting to equate Netflix with great documentaries! [+76%]

    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.

    Tribute to legend

    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.

    Well put together but a bit short tribute to a true legend of the sport

    A very emotional and well put together documentary covering Micheal's journey and showing his life on and off the track. It focuses not only his success but also his struggles.

    Personally I felt it was a bit short and could've been a multi part documentary series like The Last Dance , but regardless still a well made documentary ,credit to the team and the Schumacher family for this. A must watch for every formula one fan.

    Keep fighting Michael , hope you recover soon to witness Mick making you proud.

      Allen, James (Biographer): He had realized very, very early on in his racing career that you only get out what you put in. And that became his mantra. It had to be absolute all-out-commitment.
