Symptoms

About This Movie

Symptoms is an interesting mix of comedy and drama that really captures the weirdness of lockdown life. The pacing feels a bit off at times, but it adds to the disorienting atmosphere of the film. The protagonist, a lonely bachelor, experiences these bizarre symptoms that, while played for laughs, carry a weight of existential dread. The performances have a raw quality, making the characters relatable in their struggles. Practical effects are used minimally but effectively, creating a sense of realism amidst the absurdity. It’s distinctive in how it tackles themes of isolation and introspection during a time when connection felt impossible.
