Cycle

About This Movie

Cycle is one of those films that lingers in your mind. The atmosphere is thick with tension, especially as our main character dives deeper into his TV obsession. It’s not just about the riots; it’s more about how easily one can lose touch with reality when saturated in media. The pacing feels almost hypnotic, drawing you into that claustrophobic space, while the practical effects subtly enhance the surreal transitions between what’s on-screen and what’s happening outside. Performances are compelling, especially in how they convey the protagonist's descent. It feels raw and unsettling, almost like a reflection of our modern anxieties. Definitely distinctive, though its ambiguity may not sit well with everyone. Worth a watch for those who enjoy the psychological edge of thrillers.
