Chronic

About This Movie

CHRONIC is one of those films that sticks with you, you know? It dives deep into the psyche of a young woman grappling with self-mutilation born from a rough childhood in the Midwest. The experimental narrative is pretty unique, blending her punk past with surreal sequences that really bring her emotional turmoil to life. The pacing shifts between hauntingly slow and jarring, which adds to the disorienting feel. The practical effects are notable, enhancing the rawness of her experiences. The atmosphere feels thick and heavy, almost palpable. Performances are raw and unfiltered, which is refreshing. It’s not your typical drama; it’s a raw exploration of trauma and survival in an unflinching manner.
