Rejected

About This Movie

So, 'Rejected' is this odd little piece that really captivates with its bleak tone. Set in a post-apocalyptic world, it feels like a strange mashup of drama and fantasy—one of those films where you can feel the atmosphere hanging heavy. The pacing is deliberately slow, which allows you to soak in the bizarre rituals surrounding the 'Chisa' flower. It’s all about how superstition persists in society, told through some pretty interesting practical effects that enhance the overall strangeness of the narrative. The performances, though not from well-known actors, have this raw quality that pulls you into their plight. It’s distinctive in its approach, offering a fresh take on humanity’s follies through a lens of fantasy and drama.
