The Size of Things

About This Movie

The Size of Things is a curious exploration of minimalism woven into a mystery. Diego's existence with his father in a completely barren house sets a stark, almost haunting tone. The atmosphere is thick with a sense of isolation and longing. When he stumbles upon that enigmatic wooden chair in the rainforest, the film shifts gears, creating a palpable tension. There's something hauntingly poetic about how the chair becomes a catalyst, distorting Diego's perception of his world. The pacing is deliberate, allowing moments of introspection to linger, which may not be for everyone but really deepens the experience. The performances, particularly from the leads, feel raw and genuine, giving life to the sparse dialogue and the overarching themes of connection and discovery.
