Flying Cars (2019)

The pitch is original, a guy starts a sudden passion with RC cars just a week before getting married. But if this unexpected behaviour drives the pitch of the film and is acceptable, many more unexpected decisions are to come and feel much less plausible.

He discovers how RC car racing is an underground culture and gets in his head that it would make for a good documentary of some sort. And maybe this is the biggest missed opportunity of this film, diving more into this culture; especially since the photography pretty good in this film.

The (supposedly) 26 yo man, he starts bonding with a 16 yo girl, which feels immediately wrong, but yolo let's keep going down that road of unnecessary tension. He starts being coached by this girl and develops an appetite for making jumps with his RC car, but it's a secret project, so his fiancé is kept out of the loop.

The bonding keeps growing during training sessions... Oh what a conflict, how to choose between a teenager that makes you smile and your fiancé that you love, don't you? Please remind everyone that you are getting married next week, I am sure it will make your wife to be feel much better when she discovers what you are doing during lunch break...

I won't spoil the rest of the film but it is mostly irrelevant. The characters lack of depth and human emotions. I get that he is an adult playing with toys, but should it imply behaving like a child? The film rather good aesthetically speaking I wish the scenario had better writing.
