Singular

About This Movie

Singular (2014) is an interesting take on the superhero genre that flips the script by focusing on a kid without powers in a world where everyone else has them. The pacing is a bit uneven, but it builds a tension that resonates, especially during those moments where Andy confronts his bullies. The performances, especially from the young cast, add a layer of authenticity to the struggles of feeling like an outsider. The atmosphere has this gritty edge, which contrasts with the colorful powers all around. It's a unique exploration of themes like isolation and resilience, and while the director isn't widely known, the practical effects have a raw charm that enhances the story's grit.
