4 / 5
Translated from swedish: During the film's racing climax, I forget about this for a moment and become completely absorbed. This is a sign of pure and unadulterated cinematic art.

4 / 5
Translated from swedish: The absolute best part is clearly the direction from James Mangold and how he managed to recreate the 1960s. This is a gorgeous film to watch, and with the editing and sound, it's truly top-notch throughout.

3 / 5
Translated from swedish: James Mangold's racing drama is a classic American hero story following a winning formula. It's certainly well-made – but it also feels like it's been done before.

6 / 10
Translated from swedish: "FvF" is competently made, beautifully shot, and well edited, but alas so drawn-out and almost boring to watch. It's adequate but nothing more.

3 / 5
Translated from swedish: Christian Bale plays the rough-around-the-edges Ken Miles and Matt Damon plays Carroll Shelby. They're walking a fine line with overacting, especially Bale, and when they start wrestling around on a lawn it gets a bit ridiculous, but for the most part it's decent and toward the end even a little touching.

3 / 6
Translated from swedish: The film makes few missteps and provides solid entertainment, but it's so confident in its execution that it borders on being safe. It's good enough for a lazy afternoon, but is unlikely to leave any significant mark on film history.

3 / 6
Translated from swedish: The gifted maverick who clashes with an organization full of cowardly bureaucrats is a familiar theme. Polished "FvF" isn't particularly original, here you're mainly treated to car driving in large volumes.
- Jan SöderqvistSwedish: svd.se »
-
2 / 5
Translated from swedish: James Mangold's high-octane nostalgia trip gets into gear with a legendary race between different car brands. A tribute to speed demons that doesn't set any new standard for the car movie genre.
