Lucid

About This Movie

So, 'Lucid' is an interesting watch from 2022, directed by someone we don't quite know. The film blends science fiction with thriller elements in a way that creeps up on you. The pacing starts off relaxed, almost idyllic at first, but as the protagonist's memory issues kick in, it spirals into a more tense and disorienting atmosphere. It's got that unsettling vibe reminiscent of 'Black Mirror', really makes you question reality. The practical effects are minimal but effective, adding to the overall discomfort. Performances feel raw and grounded, which is a nice touch. It's not your typical proposal story, that's for sure; it veers into anxiety and confusion, keeping you guessing about what’s real and what’s not.
