About This Movie

So, 'Practice' directed by Laurens Perol is this intriguing drama that really dives into the psyche of an 18-year-old environmental activist, Trine. The urgency of her situation, needing to hitchhike 1500 km to Oslo just for an audition, creates this palpable tension throughout. It's not just about the journey; it’s about her connection to music and the environment. You feel her anxiety, her love for the trumpet, and the ticking clock is just relentless. The pacing is deliberate, giving you time to soak in her encounters and the atmosphere, which is both intimate and expansive. What stands out is how the practical effects and real locations enhance the authenticity of her journey, making it feel raw and relatable. The performances, especially by the lead, draw you in, making you root for her every step of the way.
