A Drifting Up

About This Movie

A Drifting Up is an intimate dive into the complexities of coming off anti-depressants, presented through a unique lens of dance.

You really get a sense of the emotional ebb and flow, as the pacing mirrors the protagonist's struggle—moments of frenetic energy juxtaposed with quiet contemplation. The documentary's atmosphere is layered; it's not just about the dance but also about the vulnerability that accompanies mental health battles. Practical effects are minimal but effective, often highlighting the realness of the experience. The performances, particularly the protagonist’s, bring a unique authenticity that resonates with anyone who's navigated similar waters.
