Small Talk

About This Movie

So, 'Small Talk' is an introspective kind of film that digs deep into personal struggle and nostalgia. Travis, the main character, feels pretty lost after returning to the Twin Cities, which gives off this heavy, kind of melancholic vibe throughout. The pacing is slow, but it serves the story well, letting you sit with Travis’s feelings of dread and avoidance, especially with that looming health issue concerning his parent. The practical effects are minimal, focused more on the raw performances rather than flashy visuals. It’s interesting how the film captures the essence of being stuck in the past and how that impacts ones' present, a theme that resonates a lot for some collectors who appreciate layered storytelling.
