Hey everyone! Can you believe it’s the last day of May already? You know I had to slide in one last movie review for the month—Cece on the Scene style!
So let’s talk about a movie that might not be brand new, but still deserves a spotlight: Gran Turismo on Netflix. Yes, I know it’s been out for a minute, but for some of y’all, it might be a first-time watch—and if you’re a gamer or racing fan, this one is definitely for you.
Based on a true story (which I love), Gran Turismo follows a young gamer who goes from dominating the racing simulator world to burning rubber on real-life tracks. I mean… from couch to car? That’s legendary energy right there.

The film stars Archie Madekwe, David Harbour (yes, Mr. Stranger Things himself!), and Orlando Bloom. Let me tell you, this movie had me clutching my throw pillow like it was a steering wheel! Between the wild turns, emotional hurdles, and big dreams, this story is all about passion, grit, and not giving up—even when the odds are stacked like a pit crew on Red Bull.
Watching him go from pixel-perfect races to actual high-speed laps had my heart racing. I seriously got chills seeing how he turned his gaming skills into a real racing career. It’s one of those feel-good, adrenaline-pumping movies that reminds you anything is possible when you go full throttle on your dreams.
💠P.S. Being in Atlanta, I’ve officially added “attend a NASCAR race” to my Cece Bucketlist. If you see me out there with a visor and some popcorn, just know it’s because this movie lit a fire under me. 🔥
