Clean

About This Movie

Clean (2020) dives into the raw and gritty aspects of a fractured mother-daughter relationship. It’s set in a disheveled apartment that almost feels like a character itself—cluttered and chaotic, mirroring the emotional state of its inhabitants. The pacing is deliberate, allowing you to really soak in the tension. Alina, the 17-year-old, embodies that rebellious spirit many can relate to, and when she bolts with this knight in shining armor—who's actually just a guy in a sporty suit—it brings a mix of hope and uncertainty. The film doesn’t shy away from exploring the messiness of life; it asks if the world outside is any cleaner than what she’s escaping. Subtle yet impactful performances anchor the film, making the atmosphere feel palpable and authentic.
