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.

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.

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.

Knowing the situation Michael is those last 8 years, I couldn't stop crying from the beginning until the end of it. An absolute masterpiece documentary and the perfect tribute to a legend like Schumacher. After watching this, I'm even more happy I've started following F1 in his time and proud becoming one of his millions worldwide fans.

P.s. Hope he recovers as soon as possible and comes back to circuits watching his son Mick racing in F1 :)

I admit I am a Michael Schumacher fan. I didn't expect to be quite as moved by this as I was, what shines through is a real love story between Michael and Corinna, every shot and every picture tells that story. It underlined his career at every turn and every moment of his success.

It is biased to the extent that it skims across his on track antics at the height of his career, but this isn't really a movie about that. It's a movie about passion, never giving up and also being humbled by life and acceptance of change.

The star is really Corinna, the last interview section is from the heart and for those of us who grew up idolising the sporting hero we can only be happy that he has such a proud, protective and loving champion in her. Yes he had luck on the track as well as historic skill, but this movie makes you think that his marriage was the real luck and the real achievement and that carries on to this day.

Keep believing MS.
