Routine

About This Movie

Routine is quite the oddity, blending documentary with a sprinkle of fantasy. You have this young protagonist going through their daily ritual of sleep and wakefulness, and it’s just a fascinating exploration of the mundane. The pacing is deliberately slow, almost hypnotic, drawing you into the repetitive motions we often overlook. The practical effects—like how dreams morph into reality—add a layer of surrealism that’s both intriguing and disorienting. It’s really about that thin line between the ordinary and the extraordinary. Miklós Horváth Milán's direction feels intimate, almost like you're peering into someone else's life as they navigate through this cycle. The performances are raw, capturing genuine moments that resonate, and the overall tone? Just wonderfully surreal.
