Strange Days (2018) is quite the atmospheric piece, though the director remains a bit of a mystery. It delves into Nina's obsession with her childhood friend Carla, who's been missing for years. The pacing is a bit languid, almost dreamlike—perfectly matching Nina's spiraling thoughts. The film really thrives on its raw emotional undercurrents, exploring themes of loss and longing. Performances feel honest, gritty, almost haunting at times. Plus, the practical effects add a tangible quality to the memories we watch unfold, making it feel grounded despite its more ethereal themes. There's a certain resonance here that sticks with you, maybe because it captures that feeling of unresolved pasts so well.
