Like It Was

About This Movie

So, 'Like It Was' is an interesting little thriller from 2017. It has this gritty, almost claustrophobic atmosphere that really pulls you in. The pacing is deliberate, building tension without rushing things, allowing the viewer to feel each moment. The themes revolve around memory and perception, which gives it a unique spin compared to typical thrillers. There’s a raw quality to the practical effects that feels almost retro, and the performances, particularly from the lead, are quite compelling. They manage to convey a lot with subtle expressions, which adds layers to the narrative. It’s not your usual fare, but that might be what makes it standout in a crowded genre.
