Decompression

About This Movie

Decompression is an intriguing 2016 drama that delves into the complexities of emotional detachment. The film centers on a woman who, devoid of feelings, explores an unconventional therapy. The pacing is contemplative, allowing viewers to really sit with her struggles and the peculiar methods she tries. The atmosphere is quite somber, almost suffocating at times, mirroring her internal state. What caught my attention were some of the practical effects used during therapy sessions—unique and a bit unsettling, they add a layer of depth to her experience. The performances are subtle yet impactful, particularly from the lead, who really embodies this emotionally vacant state. Overall, it’s a thought-provoking piece that stands out for its exploration of human emotion and connection.
