If only it was midnight all the time

About This Movie

So, 'If Only It Was Midnight All the Time' is an intriguing little piece from 2022 that kind of sneaks up on you. It situates itself in this dimly lit snooker bar, where the atmosphere is thick with nostalgia and unfulfilled dreams. The pacing feels deliberate, almost languid, mirroring the uncertain reconnection between the leads. The performances, while understated, carry a weight that really draws you in—there's a palpable tension throughout, like you can almost hear the clock ticking. It explores themes of love, regret, and the passage of time in a way that feels very intimate. Distinctly shot, the practical effects of the bar’s lighting create an almost surreal feeling, enhancing the emotional landscape. It's a film that lingers.
