About This Movie

Seahorse is really raw, capturing the turmoil of addiction with a gritty realism that's hard to shake off. The film follows Emily, a young mother teetering on the edge, and it doesn’t shy away from the dark places her addiction leads her. The pacing feels deliberate, almost agonizing at times, mirroring her struggle to reclaim her life and her daughter. The atmosphere is drenched in despair, yet there's a flicker of hope that runs through it. The performances are striking; the lead does a fantastic job of portraying the complexities of a mother in crisis. Practical effects, though limited, add a layer of authenticity to her descent. It’s this blend of heartbreak and resilience that makes it distinct.
