Gully

About This Movie

Gully (2021) dives into a raw, chaotic snapshot of a not-so-distant LA. It’s gritty and immersive, showcasing the lives of three teens—Jessie, Calvin, and Nicky—who are basically a product of their extreme upbringings. The pacing feels like a fever dream, with a blend of frenetic energy and moments of stillness that really hit home. The tone? Dark and reflective, yet almost absurd in its hedonism. This film leans into practical effects to heighten its surreal vibe, lending a tactile element to the narrative. Performances are compelling, layered—these characters feel like they’re fighting to breathe in a world that’s constantly smothering them. It stands out for its unflinching portrayal of youth grappling with despair.

Darkly atmospheric with a surreal edge.Intimate portrayal of disconnection and rebellion.Strong performances that evoke genuine empathy.
