Senna is a 2010 documentary film that depicts the life and death of Brazilian motor-racing champion, Ayrton Senna.
Senna was universally acclaimed by critics, with a 92% fresh critical consensus on Rotten Tomatoes as of November 2011.[3] Dan Jolin of Empire Magazine gave the film 4 stars out of 5 and stated that it is "ambitiously constructed, deeply compelling, thrilling and in no way only for those who like watching cars drive in circles".[4] Daniel Sarath from the online blog Napier's News gave the film 5 stars and called it "a flawless work of cinema that showcases documentary filmmaking at its most exciting".[5] Alex Zane from The Sun gave the film 4 out of 5 and wrote that Senna is "fascinating and profoundly moving".[6] Steve Rose, writing in The Guardian, also gave the film a 4 out of 5, and praised the fact that "with so much recorded footage of Formula One available, it has been possible to fashion Senna's story as a live action drama rather than a posthumous documentary. We're not so much hearing what happened in the past as seeing it happen before our eyes."[7]
