About This Movie

Gepeto (2022) is this intriguing drama that dives deep into the life of an old man grappling with his demons.

The practical effects, while subtle, enhance the warmth of the narrative without overshadowing the character work. It’s the way relationships evolve amidst life's messiness that makes it stand out, not to mention the little details that provide a richer texture to the storytelling.
