Shit Year

About This Movie

Shit Year is quite the introspective piece, really. It dives into Colleen West's psyche as she grapples with her decision to leave the limelight behind. The atmosphere is hauntingly quiet yet filled with tension, thanks to the relentless background noise of construction—a metaphor for her internal chaos. The pacing is deliberate, allowing viewers to sit with Colleen's discomfort. It’s interesting how the film explores themes of isolation and self-worth, and the performances feel raw and unfiltered. You can sense the weight of her choices, as she confronts her identity outside the glitz. The practical effects, mostly the natural landscapes contrasted with unnatural development, add a layer of authenticity that lingers with you after the credits roll.
