Overload

About This Movie

So, 'Overload' is this really intimate exploration of sensory overload from the perspective of an autistic individual. The whole thing feels raw, you know? It’s not just a narrative; it’s a spoken word piece that resonates deeply. The atmosphere is dense, almost suffocating, mirroring the protagonist's experience in a world that often feels hostile. The pacing is a bit uneven, which might throw you off, but it really amplifies the sense of chaos and urgency. The performances are heartfelt, capturing the nuances of feeling invisible. What stands out for me is the focus on practical effects—like the sound design—that pulls you right into that sensory experience. It’s distinctive, for sure, and definitely not your typical drama.
