88:88

About This Movie

So, '88:88' is this interesting blend of drama and fantasy that throws you into Val's chaotic world. The pacing is a bit slow, but it really lets you soak in her disorientation and the surreal atmosphere surrounding her. It's a film that plays with the idea of reality and the struggles of feeling utterly alone, even when surrounded by people. The practical effects are minimal but effective, adding to that dreamlike quality. The performances are raw and genuine, especially in how they capture Val's descent into her own mind. It’s a distinctive piece that doesn’t really fit neatly into one box, which I think is part of its charm. You get this sense of an internal battle that resonates on many levels.
