The Complex (2020) offers a bleak, intimate look at isolation and unwanted attention within the confines of a new apartment. The atmosphere is thick with tension, and it's quite palpable how the protagonist’s world shrinks as she navigates her daily life while constantly aware of her neighbor's unsettling presence. The pacing is deliberate, building dread without resorting to cheap thrills. There’s a raw honesty in the lead's performance, capturing both vulnerability and resilience. The practical effects, while minimal, are effective in enhancing the suffocating vibe of the setting. It explores themes of personal space and the nuances of power dynamics in uncomfortable relationships, making it an interesting study in contemporary drama.
