About This Movie

The atmosphere is dense, almost heavy with tension as he tries to connect with his friend's son. The pacing feels deliberate, allowing you to really soak in the unease. There’s this intriguing interplay of isolation and intrusion that the film explores, keeping you on edge. The performances are quite understated, which works well to draw you into their emotional struggles. Not a lot of flashy effects here, but it’s all about the psychological depth and that sense of something lurking just out of sight. Definitely a film that lingers with you after it’s over.
