The period details are above par and Grillo is up for the challenge, but “Lamborghini” comes out as perfunctory and unenlightening as a school report from a bored teen.

Fortunately, the film is only 97 minutes long. But even this grace note comes at a cost to the viewer. The end of the story comes out of nowhere, as if the filmmakers ran out of money and stopped shooting before they were really done.

A pamphletized biopic that does the easy thing — beautifying Italy and vintage automobiles — but stalls with everything involving humans.

Functional at best, Lamborghini: The Man Behind the Legend merely ticks off plot points rather than crafts them with the film falling flat in the process.

2.5/5

It is inevitable that viewers will compare this film with James Mangold’s Ford vs. Ferrari, and the truth must be told: 'Lamborghini' is no match for this one.

1/4

There are more scenes about the man behind the legend trying to keep his marriage intact than ones about him trying to piece the actual car together.

Not a good script. Missed the excitement of the story.

It’s a shame one of the most expensive car has the worst and cheapest movie production…

Bad screenplay, bad acting, bad Italian dubbing, nothing really Italian in the mood of such a bad movie. I'm Italian and I love this kind of movies, about cars and style, but this is the worst one in my life. Just Demo Morselli, the Orchestra maestro when Tony Renis sings, had a good acting, and he had no lines... The story itself is interesting, but I fully agree with the low RT score! Æ

Pretty bad. Had high hopes. Had to fast forward through parts just to finish it. Boring. Let down. No story building, no details, just basic plot from one to the next accomplishment.
