Golden Rule

About This Movie

Golden Rule is one of those films that really dives into a dark psychological space. The narrative is unsettling, following this middle-aged man who lives a double life that leads him down a truly disturbing path. The atmosphere is heavy, almost suffocating at times, with pacing that builds tension slowly but effectively. The performances are raw; you can feel the weight of their choices—particularly in the domestic scenes that juxtapose the horror of his actions. It’s not flashy, but the practical effects have a gritty realism that adds to the unsettling nature of the story. It’s definitely not for everyone, but it lingers in your mind long after the credits roll.
