Soft Like Me

About This Movie

Soft Like Me is an unsettling exploration of power dynamics on a desolate prairie farm. The atmosphere is thick with tension, as the boys are caught in a web of fear and manipulation. The warden's predatory nature is palpable, and the presence of the 'beast' is more psychological than physical, creating a foreboding that lingers throughout. Linus' arrival introduces both vulnerability and a spark of defiance, leading to secretive and tense interactions that feel almost dreamlike. The performances are raw and gripping, capturing the weight of their circumstances without any gloss. Some practical effects add a gritty realism that enhances the film's discomfort. It's not an easy watch, but it definitely sticks with you.
