Changing Gear is one of those hidden gems that captures the delicate interplay between grief and the desire for redemption. The film takes a slow burn approach, weaving through Steve's struggle as he attempts to reconcile his past with Keith's tragic death in that rally accident. The atmosphere in the garage is almost palpable, where the sounds of tools and engines create a stark contrast to the emotional weight of their encounters. There's something raw in the performances, especially in how Steve and Anwen navigate their shared sorrow. The practical effects during the car repair scenes are a nice touch, grounding the story in reality. It's a deep dive into processing loss and perhaps a bit of escapism within the world of motorsport.
Changing Gear has seen limited releases over the years, making it a bit of a rarity for collectors. The film was originally distributed on VHS, and while DVD versions exist, they remain scarce. Interest in this film has grown among enthusiasts of understated dramas and automotive stories, making it a unique find for collectors looking for something different in their catalog.
