The Atlas

About This Movie

So, 'The Atlas' is this intriguing piece from 2017 that drops you into a rather unconventional psychiatric hospital. The main character, who we only know as 'The Atlas,' just stands there with his hands up, not moving or talking. It’s quite the head-scratcher, really. The atmosphere is both comedic and dramatic, striking a balance that keeps you on your toes. The pacing feels a bit erratic at times, but it mirrors the chaotic environment of the hospital. Performances are all around solid, weaving in a sense of curiosity and urgency. It’s that riddle of a film that keeps you pondering long after it ends, which is a refreshing change in a sea of straightforward narratives.
