Between Night and Day

About This Movie

Between Night and Day is a deeply introspective drama that navigates the raw and often unspoken realities of living with autism. It’s a slow burn, really – the pacing allows you to settle into Francisco's world, a stark contrast to the chaos of family dynamics around him. The forest acts as both a refuge and a character in its own right, where his unusual friendship with a rat adds a strange sense of companionship. The practical effects are minimal but effective, enhancing the film's authenticity. The performances, particularly the lead, carry a haunting weight, creating an atmosphere of both isolation and yearning. It’s distinct in how it respects the silence of its protagonist while exploring profound themes of connection and escape.
