Late

About This Movie

Late offers a quirky blend of adventure and comedy, capturing that frantic energy of a student on the verge of missing class. The film cleverly plays with the concept of doors as portals, each one taking our protagonist to a wildly different setting, some whimsical, others surreal. The pacing is brisk, which suits the chaotic vibe of a college life, but there's a charming slowness during moments of introspection. Practical effects add a tangible feel to the fantastical elements, giving it a nice texture. Performances are engaging, especially the lead, who brings a relatable nervousness to the role. It's this balance of humor and existential ponderings that sets it apart in the indie scene of 2021.
