Primal

About This Movie

So, 'Primal' is quite a character study, really. You've got Arlo, this college kid who's all over the place, and his roommate Blake, who’s your typical frat guy. The film dives into their hyper-masculinity, which is an interesting theme. The pacing is uneven at times, reflecting the chaos of their lives and relationships. Their competition for the same girl brings a raw edge to the narrative, and you can really feel the tension building. The performances aren't groundbreaking but have a certain authenticity that grounds the film. Atmospherically, it captures that college vibe authentically, with moments of genuine emotion sneaking through the bravado. Not your run-of-the-mill college flick, there's something a bit deeper lurking beneath the surface.
