Saw it last week with the wife and we both enjoyed it; me as a F1 Geek and the wife as a non-F1 fan.
Portrayed Senna as a complex human being who's own actions often seemed to conflict with his obviously deeply held beliefs. The personailty clash with Prost is stark but as someone who grew up enthralled by their rivalry (and a Prost fan) the movie told me nothing new.
Some very emotional scenes with the Imola weekend being covered in an exceptional way; as others have said there seemed to be an element of inevitability about that weekend and you are left wondering whether Senna himself also thought that.
My wife asked whether he was married and/or had kids and I guess that personal side of Senna would have been difficult to cover in that format and in the time available. Considering the materials that they had to work with I'd say it was a job well done that worked both as a film and a (reasonably accurate) record of one of F1's greatest drivers and most intense rivalries.
9/10
