HIM

About This Movie

HIM (2021) presents a unique tapestry of human experience through its three interwoven narratives. You have Harald, the young boy who struggles with isolation, really captures that childhood angst, so raw and relatable. Then there's Emil, who's in this deep pit of unemployment and bitterness, reflecting a darker side of adulthood. Petter, the older scriptwriter, brings this reflective, almost melancholic vibe as he confronts his past and present. The pacing feels deliberate – each story unfolds at its own rhythm, and the transitions between them feel almost dreamlike. The performances are striking; there's a subtlety that really pulls you in. You don’t see flashy effects here, but rather a focus on emotional depth and character development, which makes the film stand out.
