9/10
A Poetic Story That is Beautifully Shot
20 January 2024
I would like to applause the director and cinematographer for both of their visions. I was immensely captured by the way this movie is shot, very aesthetic pleasing for a very poetic story. Being a Saudi myself, I understand the popularity of the sport that the story centres around, yet, I'm very glad that the movie tackles the emotions that results from that sport. An individualistic and emotional exploration of a very common sport in the country, if you may. Also, PERFECT casting.

I would say the only reason the rating is one star away from 10 stars is because of the 'writing' part that I think needs an expanding; this movie NEEDS a "training montage" where the protagonist learns how to race, along side good and fitting music. I know this formula is common and predictable but I think it is important to implement in this movie. Nevertheless, excellent picture I highly recommend watching.
