Dogwood

About This Movie

Dogwood, directed by Steve Sale, captures the heavy weight of modern existence beautifully. It's a slow burn, really atmospheric with a haunting score that lingers. Joe Newton as Martin offers a raw, honest performance – you can feel his struggle with societal pressures. The pacing is deliberate, allowing you to really sink into Martin's psyche, which is refreshing in a world of fast cuts. The film’s exploration of loneliness and disconnection feels poignant, almost like a mirror reflecting our own lives. And there’s a subtlety in the practical effects used to portray his breakdown that I found quite effective. It's an introspective piece that leaves you thinking long after the credits roll.
