About This Movie

Cicada dives deep into the crumbling rave scene of the 90s, capturing that electric mix of youth and chaos. The film takes its time, letting you soak in the atmosphere—the neon lights, the throbbing beats, the sense of fleeting freedom. It’s as much a love letter to a subculture as it is a coming-of-age story, with characters who feel raw and real. The performances are believable, embodying that restless spirit of adventure. Practical effects are used to enhance the visual experience rather than overwhelm it, which adds a sort of gritty authenticity. You can almost feel the decline of an era in every frame, making it a distinct piece in the romance genre.
