Tea Leaves

About This Movie

So, 'Tea Leaves' is this fascinating slice of life that dives deep into the human experience, you know? Directed by Victor Glass, it captures the tension between solitude and connection in a really unique way. The pacing is deliberate, allowing for those quiet moments to sink in—really gives you time to feel the weight of the characters' circumstances. The performances are raw, especially the interactions between the lonely Uber driver and his unruly passenger; there's a certain chemistry that feels almost electric. Practical effects are minimal, but they enhance the gritty realism of the bar scenes. It’s not just about the journey from point A to B, but what happens in between, which I think sets it apart in a crowded genre.
