I'll start by saying that I am not a "car guy." I don't care about Lamborghini; the man or the vehicle. That being said, the movie held my attention the entire time, which is a testament to how good it was. Was it amazing? No, not at all. This is a character study, and Ferruccio was interesting enough that I was invested throughout. A quick reading over other reviews show that people were shocked a movie titled Lamborghini was about the human himself. I can only stare blankly. What did you want, ninety minutes of a camera pointed at a car? Of course it's going to be about the man's life. As for his life, this is a period piece that takes us through his life from a farmer's son, to building a tractor, to building a company, to building a car. The two main problems here are that we never get a full glimpse of Ferruccio's family life; we just see the worst moments, which don't make sense out of context. Secondly, the ending: there isn't one. The movie just ends. Perhaps an issue a movie like this will have is that people who love cars only associate with cars, not the maker. Whereas, if you love Elton John's music, you can still enjoy Rocketman, since the man has a direct tie to the listener. Back to where I started: not a "car guy," no, I'm a movie fan. I like drama. I like character studies. I liked this.
