Ripple Effect

About This Movie

Ripple Effect is a raw look at a teenager's turmoil, set against the backdrop of a chaotic home life. The film captures that tense atmosphere perfectly, with Katrina's chaotic emotions spilling over after her mother's violent outburst. The pacing is deliberately slow at times, allowing you to sink into the weight of the characters' struggles. Practical effects here are minimal, but the performances—especially from the lead—are hauntingly real, pulling you into the spiraling chaos of addiction and abuse. It's distinct for its unflinching portrayal of familial relationships and the cycle of pain that can stem from them. You really feel the impact of every decision made, each ripple creating waves in Katrina's life.
