New Shoes

About This Movie

So, 'New Shoes' is this really raw drama that dives deep into the struggles of young Tristan, who’s just a kid needing a basic thing like new shoes. The film captures this heavy atmosphere, balancing the stark reality of his mother’s drug addiction with his innocent yet desperate desires. It's paced in a way that makes you feel every moment, every decision weighing down on them. Performances are pretty gritty, especially from the lead; you can sense the tension in their interactions. The practical effects, though minimal, enhance the realism of their situation. It’s not your typical feel-good story, but it evokes a lot of empathy and forces you to think about the bigger issues regarding addiction and childhood.
