About This Movie

Crocodile (2018) presents an interesting dynamic as it unfolds around a seemingly simple game that turns into a layered exploration of friendship and tension. The film captures the essence of New Year’s Eve, a time often filled with hope, yet the atmosphere here is thick with unease. The performances feel raw, particularly in how Anya and Lisa navigate the unspoken strains in their relationship. The pacing meanders a bit, which I think adds to the tension, as you’re left questioning what will happen next. The gestures used in the game are quite fascinating – they create a unique language of their own, symbolizing deeper issues in their friendship. It’s a subtle film that relies heavily on its characters and their interactions, making it distinctive in its approach to drama.
