San Jose Mercury News

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.

Rated: 1/5

AV Club

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.

Rated: D

TheWrap

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

Common Sense Media

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.

Rated: 1/5

The Times of India

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.

Rated: 2.5/5

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.

This movie was interesting from a history of supercars perspective. Its sad that the drive and genius it takes to build these brands (Ferrari, Lamborghini) results in the mistreatment of family members who had to pay the price of the brands success.

I forced myself to watch it through. The sets are beautiful. The writing was pathetic. The direction and editing were on par with a high school production.

As slow as the tractor he first built. I fast-forwarded through most of it and then, when deciding to watch the car and not the lovey dovey scenes... fell asleep and zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

I went into this film knowing nothing of the history Lamborghini so enjoyed the first half the most which left me wanting a prequel of his war adventures where he learned engineering on battered machines, and also more about his fascinating early career of both selling and inventing tractors! Old man Ferruccio, alone, behind the wheel of his beloved Miura driving along the Italian coastline also made the second half of the movie most memorable.
