NextStep is an intriguing blend of comedy, drama, and a touch of sci-fi, set in a near future where therapy is all the rage. The film follows a teenager navigating the complexities of mental health during a visit to his therapist, and it does a nice job of exploring those awkward moments that come with opening up. The pacing feels a bit off at times, but it adds to the offbeat charm. The performances are raw and genuine, particularly from the lead, who captures that teenage uncertainty well. The practical effects are minimal but effective, complementing the film's more cerebral approach, which sets it apart from standard teen dramas. It’s definitely a unique take on mental health narratives.
