Real

About This Movie

Real (2012) is a fascinating short film by Gosha Berlinsky that definitely sits on the edge of the drama and thriller genres. It’s got this moody, claustrophobic atmosphere, making you feel the weight of the story throughout its runtime. The pacing is deliberate, almost methodical, which really enhances the tension. The practical effects are quite striking and add a layer of realism that’s often missing in today’s digital-heavy landscape. The performances are raw and intense, pulling you into the characters’ struggles. It explores themes of reality versus perception in a way that can really linger in your mind. It’s a unique piece that showcases Berlinsky's ability to create a gripping narrative in a short format.
