Those who don't like or even hate this film completely miss the point. As others have pointed out, if you want a documentary, go watch Jeremy Clarkson's segment on the Grand Tour. If you want to see the 037 and Quattro racing in the 1983 WRC (I know it wasn't called that back then), go on YouTube.
This film is a David vs Goliath story. The cars aren't the main character. It's a movie about Cesare Fiorio and his cunning and ingenuity!
Sure it doesn't have the budget and production of a big Hollywood Blockbuster, but that's part of the charm, isn't it? It looks very good. Sometimes it was even hard to tell when they were using archive rally footage or what they actually filmed.
Other aspect many seem to not praise enough was the sound design. I wasn't expecting just how well the car sounds would be depicted!
Let if be made clear this is a movie for car enthusiasts. I would even dare to say it's the anti Fast & Furious.
