Ellipsis

About This Movie

So, there's this film called Ellipsis from 2021 that kind of pulls you in with its unique take on animal and human rights. The narrator—who you never really get to know—wanders through these woods, and it's wild how she interacts with animal-shaped targets. It’s not just about shooting; it’s this deeper exploration of the gaze and how society views both humans and animals. The pacing feels meditative, almost dreamlike at times, with a haunting atmosphere that sticks with you. The practical effects, while minimal, enhance that eerie tension. It’s distinctive because it challenges your perception in a way that’s both jarring and thought-provoking. Definitely a film that lingers long after it ends.
