Skyscraper

About This Movie

So, 'Skyscraper' feels like a meditation on the absurdity of urban life, you know? It’s got this interesting blend of comedy and drama that really captures Jon's struggle. The pacing has this nice rhythm, flipping between his childhood trauma and the claustrophobic world he inhabits. The way the narrative unfolds, it’s almost like a reflection on responsibility and how one incident can shape a life. I found the practical effects to be engaging but what really stands out are the performances—there’s this rawness to them, especially in how they convey the weight of past mistakes. It’s not your typical coming-of-age flick and that’s what makes it distinctive.
