Synopsis
Lady Driver (2020) is an American drama you can watch online on iFILM, directed by Shaun Paul Piccinino. A defiant teenager heads to her family's home and stumbles into the world of circuit racing — where it turns out she's a natural.
Grace Van Dien plays the lead, and her father on screen is her actual father — Casper Van Dien. The casting makes the film's generational thread land differently than it would otherwise; there's no need to manufacture the push-pull of a difficult family reunion when it's already there in the room. Sean Patrick Flanery rounds out the cast.
Straightforward in structure, the film lives on its lead performance. Van Dien has real screen presence, and the racing sequences give her something to do beyond reacting to dialogue. Stream Lady Driver online on iFILM.
