Casting (2021) digs deep into the dark underbelly of the entertainment industry. The atmosphere is heavy, almost suffocating, as the protagonist navigates the cutthroat world of auditions. You can feel the tension build, especially during those moments that reveal the brutal reality behind the glamour. The pacing is deliberate, allowing us to stew in the discomfort alongside the main character, who is both vulnerable and resilient. The performances are raw—especially the lead, whose portrayal of desperation and ambition feels almost too real at times. It’s distinctive in its unflinching look at psychological abuse, making you ponder the price of fame long after the credits roll. Practical effects? Not much here; it’s all about the emotional impact.
