Expiry

About This Movie

Expiry is a fascinating exploration of intimacy and isolation, really. The premise hits hard; Jamie and Sofia wake up one morning unable to touch, which is such a unique take on marital struggles. The atmosphere is heavy, almost suffocating, with this palpable tension that lingers throughout. Practical effects, or the lack thereof, really emphasize their separation—like when they try to reach for each other but can’t. Pacing feels deliberate, letting the audience sit with those uncomfortable moments. Performances are raw, capturing that deep sadness and longing without needing a lot of dialogue. It’s a film that nudges you to think about connection in a digital age, and it’s definitely distinctive in its approach to the sci-fi genre.
