It is quite obvious that the Senna - Da Silva family had a hand in this, and a very strict one at that. Senna is described as a saint. He's always kind and nice and puts up with everything that's done to him. That's boring and superficial. There are no conflicts except with Prost and Balestre.

The dialog is so incredibly flat, any daily soap is literature by comparison. I want to be first. He's the best. I'm the fastest. I want to win. But that's dangerous! But I want to win. But you've already won. But I want to win again.

What about Senna's women's stories? That would have had potential. Didn't he have any vices? People like that don't exist. But when his mother is involved in writing the script ...

His parents also come across as saints. Always understanding, always patient, kind, indulgent and noble. Yes, of course.

The action pictures are top-notch, though. Not completely groundbreaking, but very impressive. Especially the sound design was awesome.

Visually it's striking, the sets are original and creative, the colors amazing.

The problem with this movie is that it made me hate the disgusting old woman and I wanted her to finally die, so the young hot girl could take over and live her life. I totally rooted for her. I understood her lust for life, and why she wanted to take just a little more if the substance.

Was this really the intention?

Plus, the ending is just funny gore-fest and a bit boring. It doesn't add much to the themes of the movie.

I would have loved to see more scenes between the woman and her young clone, where they have some kind of real exchange, not just try to kill each other. I never felt they are two parts of the same soul. Why wouldn't the girl at least try to convince her *mother* to let her take over? You had your life, now let me live mine. I'll keep your name in honor. Or why couldn't they try to team up to get more stabilizer? Why didn't the mother try to talk some sense into the girl?

Daniel Brühl makes an honest effort, but is unfortunately completely miscast as Karl Lagerfeld. Not that he doesn't look like him. The problem is more that he doesn't radiate the slightest charisma. He appears lenient, opportunistic, dull and boring, just the contrary of the real Karl Lagerfeld. The characters around him are much more interesting and way more colorful. Maybe that's why the makers decided to edit him out of the show, more or less. They must have realized what a terrible mistake they made and decided to focus the show on the more interesting side characters.

That could put a real dent in his career.

They should have renamed the show.
