"Senna" is simply the greatest sports film I have ever seen.
Joe Williams, St. Louis Post-Dispatch
Fresh
A psychologically intriguing if at times too hagiographic portrait of a man who often held pole position in his profession and felt nearer to God because of it.
Lisa Kennedy, Denver Post

"Senna" is carefully edited and makes sometimes spectacular use of extensive home movies and videos.
John Hartl, Seattle Times

There's not an ounce of fat or a wasted shot throughout.
