Godspeed

About This Movie

So, Godspeed is this intriguing drama by Alexis Braun set against a backdrop that feels almost claustrophobic, with mountains and sea closing in. It follows Dior and Kenzo, two young souls stuck in a city that’s literally burning around them. The wildfires aren’t just a backdrop; they symbolize their own internal struggles, their desire to escape. The pacing is quite deliberate, allowing you to really sit with their thoughts and dreams. The performances feel raw and genuine, capturing that simmering tension perfectly. There are practical effects used during the fire scenes that ground it all in a stark reality. It’s not flashy, but it’s that kind of gritty, atmospheric storytelling that leaves you thinking long after the credits roll.
