Flicker

About This Movie

Flicker is a raw exploration of modern life in Dublin, centering on Danny, portrayed by Peter Newington with a kind of sincerity that feels real. The tone is gritty, almost claustrophobic, and you can sense the weight of the city pressing down on him. After a violent incident, there's a palpable shift in Danny; it’s like he’s going through the motions but under a cloud of uncertainty. The pacing is a mix of slow builds and sudden bursts of emotion, mirroring the unpredictability of youth. Themes of resilience and the fragility of normalcy run deep, and though it’s low on flashy effects, the performances carry it. There's an authenticity that’s hard to shake off once you’ve watched it.
