Severance

About This Movie

Severance (2020) dives into a pretty bleak yet intimate space. It’s about these two friends—there’s this slow burn to their unraveling, right? The whole warehouse setting adds to this suffocating atmosphere. You can feel the weight of their shared history pressing down on them as they navigate their last week. The pacing is deliberate, letting tension build. The performances are raw, almost unpolished, which suits the vibe well. There’s a lot of quiet moments that really highlight the deterioration of their friendship. What stands out? It’s how it captures both the mundanity and the emotional stakes of leaving a chapter behind, and that sense of loss feels very real.
