Our take
F1 is a PG-13 sports drama starring Brad Pitt as a veteran driver returning to Formula 1. The rating cites strong language and action. Reviews count dozens of profanities including f-word uses, repeated crash sequences, and passionate kissing with implied sex. At two and a half hours it runs long. Best for teens who enjoy motorsport spectacle and can handle mature language
Uplifting themes
Humility, teamwork, and second chances frame the comeback story Veteran and rookie drivers learn to trust each other on the team
