Flake

About This Movie

So, 'Flake' is this intriguing drama that really dives into the complexities of family dynamics, ya know? Kevin comes back home, expecting a warm birthday vibe for his mom, Lisa, but what unfolds is this thick atmosphere of tension and unease. Her character's transformation—from a caring mother to someone almost alien—it's unsettling in all the right ways. The pacing is deliberate, which amplifies that sense of foreboding. The performances are quite raw, especially as Kevin unravels what’s actually happening with her. It brings up themes of memory, loss, and the often unnoticed struggles that come with aging. And the practical effects—there’s a subtlety that really grounds the emotional weight, making the film distinctive in its approach. Worth a watch for sure.
