About This Movie

So, '5'12'' is an intriguing piece that unfolds in Bawley Point, a town that feels like a character itself with its laid-back vibe. It really dives into the quirky tensions of obsession and those insecurities we all carry, all served with a side of dry humor. The pacing is kind of deliberately slow, which lets you soak in the atmosphere and the nuances of the characters. I found the performances quite compelling, especially how they navigate these emotional landscapes without veering into melodrama. What stands out is the film’s exploration of body image and our futile attempts to control our physical selves. And there’s something about the practical effects that keeps it grounded, which I appreciate. It’s a unique watch for sure.

Quirky humor balances the deeper themes.Strong character development through subtle performances.Practical effects add authenticity to the experience.
