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.

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.

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

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.
