Cold Start

About This Movie

Cold Start dives deep into the gritty underbelly of motorsport and grief, weaving a tale reminiscent of Drive and Moonlight. The pacing is deliberate, allowing you to really absorb the emotional weight of Donnini's tragic end and the lingering presence of the car he built with his son, Carter. It’s not just about racing—it's about legacy, loss, and the bond between father and son that transcends tragedy. The film’s atmosphere is thick with tension, and the performances feel raw and real, anchoring the more surreal moments with genuine emotion. Practical effects over CGI keep the racing scenes grounded, adding to the authenticity of the experience. It's a heady mix of nostalgia and pain that you won’t easily forget.
