Frankie Teardrop

About This Movie

Frankie Teardrop is an interesting beast of a film. The atmosphere is heavy, almost suffocating at times, layered with a haunting score that lingers long after the credits. The pacing feels deliberate, almost dreamlike, as Frankie navigates through memories that are both painful and surreal. The practical effects used here are pretty striking, lending an unsettling authenticity to Frankie's world. The performances, especially from the lead, have this rawness that pulls you into his spiral. Themes of regret and the weight of friendship weave throughout, creating a tapestry of longing and despair. It's distinctive for how it confronts trauma without shying away, not your typical fantasy flick, that's for sure.
