About This Movie

Don't. (2019) presents a raw exploration of bullying, layered with the complexities of familial abuse. Matt, the protagonist, is both the aggressor and the victim, caught in a spiral of aggression while grappling with his father's cruelty. The atmosphere is heavy, underscoring the tension between his violent actions and the internal turmoil he faces. Pacing feels intentional, drawing you into the uncomfortable dynamics among his friends who, despite their conflict, choose complicity. Em, his sister, serves as a grounding force, her performances adding depth to the otherwise grim narrative. It’s distinct in its refusal to glamorize or vilify; instead, it lays bare the painful choices that can lead one down a dark path.
