Reviews

Slant Magazine -
Le Mans needs to be rediscovered so that it can be hopefully embraced as one of star Steve McQueen’s finest hours.
|
|
Variety -
Marked by some spectacular car-racing footage, Le Mans is a successful attempt to escape the pot-boiler of prior films on same subject. The solution was to establish a documentary mood.

TV Guide Magazine -
Racing fans should love Le Mans' dazzling documentary-like photography, including actual footage from the 1969 and 1970 races, but those who are more interested in an involving story may be disappointed.

|
The Hollywood Reporter -
It is an unsatisfying film because we know no more about the people at the end than we did at the beginning, in fact, very little at all.
|
|
The New York Times -
Dramatically, the picture is a bore. And neither the oblique approach to these time-out sequences nor a ripe score by Michel Legrand manages to juice things up.
