Mile End

About This Movie

Mile End is an intriguing dive into the lives of the overlooked affluent, capturing a sort of quiet desperation and existential angst. The pacing is deliberate, allowing you to really sit with the characters’ struggles. The atmosphere feels heavy, almost suffocating at times, which I think adds to its charm. The performances are subtle but striking; you can really feel the weight of their privilege, and yet their internal conflicts make them relatable. It’s not flashy, no big budget effects here—just raw, honest storytelling. You see the beauty of practical effects being used sparingly, which lends an air of authenticity. It’s distinct for how it flips the narrative, allowing us a glimpse into the emotional toll of being part of that 1%.
