Darkness

About This Movie

So, 'Darkness' is this heavy drama that unravels in a pretty raw way. It centers on two groups of friends grappling with the aftermath of a mutual friend's suicide. The atmosphere is thick, almost suffocating at times, and the pacing feels deliberate, allowing the weight of grief to settle. There's a distinct lack of flashy effects here, which I think works in its favor—everything feels grounded, almost documentary-like. The performances are quite striking; you can really feel the emotional turmoil. It’s not just about the tragedy but how people cope with it differently, which gives it a realism that sticks with you. It's a film that lingers in your mind, calling for reflection on how we handle loss.
