Baraboo

About This Movie

Baraboo presents a raw glimpse into the lives of six characters living in a dilapidated motel in Wisconsin. The film embraces a slow, almost languid pacing that allows you to soak in the atmosphere, like the peeling wallpaper and flickering lights. It’s not just about survival; it explores themes of isolation and connection in a space that’s both a refuge and a trap. The performances are understated yet carry a weighty honesty, revealing layers of longing and regret. There's something distinctive in how it captures the mundane yet profound moments of life, and the practical effects, or rather the lack of grandeur, ground the narrative in a very real, almost palpable way. It's a quiet piece that lingers with you.
