Still Awake?

About This Movie

So, 'Still Awake?'—it’s a slow burn, really. Šimon's character is just... trapped. The insomnia adds this heavy layer of tension throughout, almost palpable, you know? The pacing is deliberate, which might not be everyone's cup of tea, but it builds this suffocating atmosphere that mirrors his life. The interactions, especially with his son and wife, showcase a disconnection that's almost painful to watch. There’s a certain rawness to the performances, especially from the lead; it feels genuine. This film dives deep into themes of despair and the search for meaning, yet it dangles a glimmer of hope at the end. It’s that kind of understated drama that lingers with you after it’s done.
