Rat

About This Movie

So, 'Rat' is this fascinating dive into New York City's underbelly, literally. It’s not your typical documentary; it has this dry wit that balances the grim subject matter with an almost playful exploration of the rat-human dynamic. The pacing feels natural, with the camera gliding through the nooks and crannies of the city, showing us the bizarre coexistence. The practical effects really bring the rats to life, almost giving them a personality of their own. You feel the grit and grime of the city, and the interviews have this raw honesty that makes you think. It’s a unique take on urban life and the constant struggle to coexist with the city's most infamous residents. Quite the oddball gem, really.
