About This Movie

Déjà-vu (2023) captures the monotony and the emotional turbulence of high school through Kristin's eyes. It's a slow burn with a palpable sense of longing, as you feel her frustration with academics and the unrequited crush on Jonas. The film's pacing reflects the dragging days of school life, with moments that linger just a bit longer than you'd expect, emphasizing her internal struggles. While the performances are quite earnest, especially from the lead, there's a rawness to it that's a bit refreshing. The cinematography is simple but effective, creating an atmosphere that feels familiar yet distinctively poignant. It doesn't rely on flashy effects but rather on the weight of its themes of youth and unattainable dreams.
