One of Us

About This Movie

So, 'One of Us' is this understated drama that really captures the essence of adolescence against a backdrop that’s kind of bleak yet oddly relatable. Set in an industrial suburb of Austria, the film follows Julian, this spirited 14-year-old, who finds a friend in Marko, a bit of a misfit at 16. Their late-night supermarket break-in feels like a mix of rebellion and yearning for connection, perfectly illustrating that teenage angst. It’s shot in a way that makes the mundane feel both claustrophobic and strangely intimate, you know? The performances are solid, with a rawness that pulls you into their world, making the whole experience linger in your mind long after it ends. Plus, the fact that it’s based on a true event adds an extra layer of weight to their actions.
