NEURASTENIA

About This Movie

Neurastenia is an intriguing drama that digs deep into the psyche of a forensic medicine student. The atmosphere is quite palpable, with a sense of claustrophobia stemming from her turbulent living situation with a chaotic roommate. You really feel the weight of impending exams as the tension builds throughout. The pacing is deliberate, allowing moments of reflection that make the character's struggles resonate. The performances here are raw—especially the lead, who captures that frazzled energy perfectly. What stands out is how it tackles themes of mental health and academic pressure, a bit on the nose but done with a certain groundedness. The practical effects are minimal, but they serve the story well, keeping the focus on character rather than spectacle.
