The Squirrels in the Attic

About This Movie

So, 'The Squirrels in the Attic' is this gritty drama that really pulls you in. It’s got this tense atmosphere, you know? The public defender, she's fiery and relatable, but the way she navigates this creepy rural setting with the ex-con and his girlfriend is unsettling. The pacing is deliberate, building up the tension like a slow burn that creeps up on you. The performances are raw, especially how they play off each other in the cramped spaces of that house. There's something about the isolation that lingers, making you feel uncomfortable yet fascinated. It's a story about desperation and moral ambiguity, and it definitely leaves a mark. Not your typical courtroom drama, for sure.
