Alive

About This Movie

Alive (2020) dives into a pretty intense exploration of intimacy and trust. You've got Victoria, who's disabled and really grappling with her need for connection. The way her assistant, Ida, navigates this—setting up a Tinder profile—is both sweet and a bit unsettling. The film has a low-key, almost claustrophobic vibe that amplifies the tension, especially with that shady match lurking around. The pacing is deliberate, allowing the themes of vulnerability and dependency to sink in. Performances? They're solid, really grounding the emotional weight. It's distinctive in how it tackles modern dating from a unique perspective, making you think twice about the risks that come with putting yourself out there.
