plus minus one

About This Movie

So, 'plus minus one' is a short doc that dives deep into those quiet, often overlooked breakups—specifically friendships. The tone feels raw and intimate, you know? It captures that heavy silence when connections fade. The pacing is almost meditative, letting moments stretch out, giving you space to contemplate. I appreciate how it doesn’t shy away from the emotional messiness involved. There's a kind of gritty authenticity in the interviews; you can feel these subjects wrestling with their experiences. It’s distinct because it’s not about romantic love—it’s about the complexities of platonic relationships and what happens when they dissolve. The visuals are simple but effective, allowing the narratives to shine through.
