So, 'By Your Side' is this quiet, contemplative piece set in London during the first lockdown—a unique backdrop that really shapes the film's tone. The pacing is slow, almost meditative, allowing viewers to soak in the surreal emptiness of the city. It captures a sense of isolation, which feels eerily relevant. The cinematography leans into practical effects, showcasing real locations that lend authenticity. There's a rawness in the young woman's journey as she navigates deserted streets, and her performance feels genuine, almost like a glimpse into real life during that time. It’s not your typical drama, but it lingers, making you reflect on solitude and connection in unexpected ways.
