ESTERTOR

About This Movie

Estertor is a curious blend of comedy and drama, weaving a rather unsettling narrative. It’s set in this weird space where the mundane meets the horrific; four employees dealing with a genocidal man under house arrest due to Alzheimer's. The atmosphere feels oddly dark but also absurdly comedic at times. The pacing can be a bit uneven, at moments slow as they ponder their moral compass, and at others, it escalates into chaotic humor as they toy with their situation. The performances are intriguing, capturing that sense of ennui mixed with a simmering rage. What stands out is this very off-kilter approach to handling heavy themes like oppression and complicity, making it a distinctive piece in the indie landscape of 2022.
