Only Pussies Screw

About This Movie

So, 'Only Pussies Screw' is this kind of raw drama that throws you into the tangled emotions of a kid who's really fed up with being a child. The pacing is slow, sometimes almost meditative, which lets you really feel the weight of Make's responsibilities. It's a bit of a coming-of-age story but tinged with a heavy sense of frustration and longing. The performances are understated yet powerful, especially from the kid playing Make. It’s not flashy, no big effects or gimmicks, just a real slice of life that feels uncomfortably familiar. The atmosphere is heavy and sometimes suffocating, making you root for Make while also feeling his pain. Really distinctive in its approach to childhood and growing up, you know?
