Lone

About This Movie

Lone (2022) is an intriguing piece, really. It captures the essence of isolation during the pandemic in a way that feels very personal. The pacing is quite deliberate, allowing you to really soak in the quiet desperation of the characters. It’s not your typical drama—there’s this experimental edge to it that can throw you off at first, but it ultimately enhances the feeling of loneliness. The practical effects are minimal, which adds to the rawness. The performances are layered, almost haunting at times. It really dives into themes of nostalgia and loss, making you reflect on your own experiences of those lost high school moments. Not your usual fare, but definitely a conversation starter for film collectors.
