Ketamine

About This Movie

So, 'Ketamine' dives into this heavy emotional landscape—two brothers grappling with their mother's death in this small village setting. The pacing is deliberate, almost meditative, which really allows the weight of their grief to settle in. Vincent, the younger brother, kind of drifts into this dark world of drug use alongside Sjoerd, who seems more lost than anything. It's raw, and there’s a very bleak yet intimate atmosphere; their bond feels both fragile and fierce. The performances are pretty compelling too, capturing that mix of love and despair, especially in how they relate to their deceased mother and the old dog. There’s a unique blend of nihilism and tenderness that makes it stand out in the drama genre.
