Preparation for Delays

About This Movie

Preparation for Delays is a quiet, introspective drama that dives into the life of Selim, a taxi driver whose world starts to crumble when his car faces breakdown. It’s less about high-stakes action and more about that slow, creeping dread of financial instability and the grind of daily life. The pacing can feel laborious at times, mirroring Selim's own struggles, which adds to the overall authenticity of the experience. There's an interesting use of practical effects in depicting the car's deterioration. The performances are raw, particularly the lead, who embodies that mix of desperation and hopefulness. It’s a film that lingers on the edges of existence, capturing the weight of small moments in a much larger narrative of survival.
