Cross

About This Movie

So, 'Cross' is this gritty drama that digs into the life of Serge, a motocross driver who’s really struggling after a bad accident. The film has a raw energy, punctuated by the sounds of engines and the dust of the tracks. It captures that feeling of nostalgia and loss, with Serge's limp serving as a constant reminder of his past glory. The pacing is a bit slow but it works, letting you soak in his spiral. The performances, especially the dynamic with his girlfriend Elsa, feel really authentic, highlighting the toll that obsession can take on relationships. And there’s something about the practical effects during the racing scenes that just feels more visceral, you know? It’s one of those films that really lingers with you after it’s over.
