Goliath

About This Movie

Goliath (2017) is a really raw exploration of young love and the pressures of impending fatherhood. You can feel the tension rising as David grapples with his fears of inadequacy, especially after that harrowing train scene. It’s not just about Jessy’s pregnancy; it’s about David’s struggle with his identity and masculinity. The pacing feels deliberate, allowing us to sit with the characters’ discomfort. The performances are pretty grounded, which adds to the authentic atmosphere. It doesn't rely on flashy effects but rather on the emotional weight of the narrative. The themes of vulnerability and fear are quite poignant, making this film stand out in its own quiet way.
