Chronic

About This Movie

Chronic is a deep dive into the life of David, a nurse navigating the emotional landscape of terminal care. The film captures this delicate balance between the raw, intimate moments with patients and David's own struggles outside that world. You really feel the weight of his interactions, and the atmosphere is heavy yet intimate, drawing you in slowly. The pacing is deliberate, allowing the viewer to sit with the characters’ experiences and the existential themes that arise. What stands out is the layered performance of the lead actor, whose subtlety conveys so much without needing to overact. It’s a distinctive look at mortality and human connection, all wrapped in a pretty minimalist aesthetic that feels real rather than stylized.

Subtle performances that anchor the narrative.A unique exploration of the nurse-patient relationship.Emphasis on realism and emotional depth.
