Affliction (2020) dives into the murky waters of human connection and contemplation. It’s this slow-burn drama where the atmosphere hangs heavy, almost suffocating at times, perfectly mirroring the internal struggles of the two coworkers. The pacing feels deliberate, allowing every moment to resonate, making you dwell on their choices and regrets. Notably, the performances are raw, allowing the audience a glimpse into their emotional turmoil without any glossing over. The film uses practical effects sparingly, but effectively, enhancing the palpable tension. What stands out here is how it captures that everyday, almost mundane interaction and transforms it into something deeply thought-provoking. It’s that kind of film that stays with you long after the credits roll.
