About This Movie

So, 'Style' from 2008... it's this really intriguing middle school drama that leans heavily into the psychological. The way it explores anxiety and hallucination is quite gripping. The tone is a mix of tension and fragility, which makes you feel for the characters, especially the lead. The pacing is a bit uneven, but it adds to the overall discomfort – like you're grappling with their reality. Practical effects are used creatively to visualize the hallucinations, which feels refreshing compared to all the heavy CGI out there. Performances are earnest, capturing the awkwardness of that age. It’s a distinctive piece that doesn’t shy away from the darker aspects of adolescence. Not everyone’s cup of tea, but there’s something about its rawness that sticks with you.
