The Plastic House

About This Movie

So, 'The Plastic House' is quite an intriguing piece. Directed by Allison Chhorn, it blends elements of docu-fiction in a really personal way. It’s like you’re stepping into her mind, exploring what life could be after losing her parents. The pacing has this almost meditative quality, letting moments linger and breathe, which feels reflective and intimate. The atmosphere is somewhat surreal, amplified by the titular house itself—it feels both real and otherworldly. Chhorn's performance, alongside her exploration of family ties and memory, gives it a unique edge. It’s distinct how she uses practical effects and space to evoke emotion without relying on traditional narrative structures. Definitely not your everyday documentary.
