Ahold of Get the Things To

About This Movie

Ahold of Get the Things To is this curious little gem from 2014 that dives headfirst into a rather bleak, dystopian future. The premise is intriguing—beings who’ve lived all possible lives, where the mundane becomes the backdrop for a deeper existential crisis. The climbing gym setting is quite clever, almost like a metaphor for the struggles of climbing out of a trapped existence. You have two boys and a girl just meandering through their thoughts, and it paints a vivid atmosphere of confusion and hope. The pacing can feel a bit slow, but it allows you to marinate in the ideas they discuss. The performances have this raw, almost unfiltered quality that makes it distinct. The practical effects, though limited, work well within the universe they've created, adding a layer of authenticity.
