Turbo Kid (2015) is a masterpiece of sincerity disguised as a trashy gore-fest. Let's not forget it.

I feel like this movie doesn't get talked about enough anymore. On the surface, it’s a crazy, post-apocalyptic BMX bloodbath, but what makes it genuinely great is its absolute sincerity.

It doesn't just rely on cynical 80s nostalgia or "turn your brain off" action. The characters (especially Apple) have some honest real heart. It is the perfect movie to just relax with, but it actually has a soul. I really don't know what nailed me the most—the dying autumn backgrounds or the straightforward plot moves—but it is something that will stay with me always. If you haven't seen it, you are missing out on a wildly fun ride. Give it a chance.
