And Through the Portal We Go

About This Movie

And Through the Portal We Go is an intriguing blend of comedy, drama, and fantasy that doesn't quite settle into any one category. The film follows Katie, Craig, and Mikey, the last three members of their disbanded cult, as they pursue transcendence through a glowing portal in the woods. The atmosphere is a mix of whimsical and melancholic, with a pacing that feels like a gentle stretch of time loop, cleverly exploring themes of belief and repetition. The practical effects used for the portal are charmingly low-fi, giving it a unique, handmade feel. Performances are earnest, particularly from the leads, who capture the absurdity and sincerity of their quest. It's distinctive in its off-kilter humor and the way it wades into existential waters without losing its comedic edge.
