Only Human

About This Movie

Only Human plays with the complexities of youth, an exploration of identity amidst the chaos of high school and the looming pressure of adulthood. Lucas, this quintessential jock, seems to have it all, yet when Vanessa enters the picture, his life is thrown into disarray, and you can feel that shift in tone. The pacing is a bit uneven at times, but it mirrors the tumultuous emotions of the characters. There’s a subtle blend of horror elements that creep in, perhaps reflecting Lucas’s internal struggles more than any external threat. The chemistry between the leads is palpable, and the performances carry a rawness that keeps you invested. It’s a unique take on the classic coming-of-age story, really. Practical effects, when used, add that gritty touch, grounding the more surreal aspects of the narrative.
