CUT

About This Movie

CUT is this intriguing little gem from 2017 that takes a really deep dive into mental illness through the lens of Sylvia Plath’s poem of the same name. It has this almost haunting atmosphere, with a pacing that feels intentionally disjointed, mirroring the themes of instability and introspection. The visuals are striking—there’s a rawness to the practical effects that gives it a visceral quality, pulling you into Sylvia's psyche. The performances are quite compelling, especially how they embody the fragility of the mind. You can feel the weight of each scene, almost like you're walking through her thoughts. It’s definitely not conventional, but that’s what makes it stand out in the landscape of experimental drama.
