About This Movie

Holly has this raw, gritty vibe that really pulls you in. Shot in Phnom Penh, it feels so authentic with scenes filmed right in the thick of its red light district. The pacing is deliberately slow, allowing you to soak in the atmosphere and the harsh realities on display. Patrick, the lead, is this jaded American who’s been numbing himself for years, and his interactions with the locals are pretty haunting. The performances are grounded, adding to the film’s weight. It tackles some heavy themes—exploitation, despair, and fleeting connections. Not your typical drama, that’s for sure. It’s like a slice-of-life that sticks with you, for better or worse. You'll walk away feeling something, even if it’s uncomfortable.
