Drive, She Said

About This Movie

So, 'Drive, She Said'—this one kind of creeps up on you, right? It’s really more of an exploration of Nadine’s simmering discontent than a conventional hostage thriller. The pacing feels deliberate, which lets you dwell on her frustrations, both at work and in her relationship. The small-town vibe is palpable, creating this almost claustrophobic atmosphere. The performances lean towards the understated, which I really appreciated; they don’t go for grand gestures. Instead, you get this raw, relatable look at someone grappling with life’s expectations. It’s not flashy, but there’s a kind of quiet intensity in the way it gets under your skin. Definitely a film that lingers after watching it.
