About This Movie

Engram (2021) dives deep into the psyche of its main character, a boy grappling with his past in a world that feels both familiar and surreal. The blending of drama and science fiction gives it this unique texture that pulls you in slowly, almost like a dream. The pacing feels deliberate, allowing the weight of grief to settle in, which is pretty effective. The practical effects, though not overwhelming, enhance the altered reality without overshadowing the emotional core. Performances lean into that raw, unpolished vibe, which really suits the themes of love and loss. It’s interesting how it navigates the boundaries of time and memory, making you ponder long after the credits roll.
