Not

About This Movie

Not is a heavy, atmospheric drama that dives deep into the harrowing realities of domestic abuse. The film's pacing is deliberate, allowing the viewer to simmer in Nia's despair as she struggles with her toxic relationship. The performances, especially from the actors portraying Nia and her daughters, really hit home; they bring a raw authenticity that’s hard to shake off. The way the film captures the children's perspective is striking, leaving you with a sense of helplessness and urgency. There’s a certain grittiness to the practical effects and cinematography that amplifies the emotional weight. It’s not about grand gestures, but rather the crushing mundanity of everyday trauma. This one lingers, for sure.
