The Wait

About This Movie

"The Wait" is this quirky little gem that captures the isolation many felt during 2020's self-distancing. It follows a drummer who's stuck at home, really digging into that solitude. The pacing feels reflective, almost meditative, as he grapples with his creativity in a void. The humor is dry, kind of subtle, and it plays nicely against the backdrop of loneliness. There's a raw quality to the performances—like you feel the frustration and the imagination swirling within him. The music is integral, of course, but it’s the atmosphere that really stands out; it evokes a sense of yearning. It’s not flashy, but it has a charm that makes you think about how we cope with absence. Different, for sure, but worth examining for its unique take on creativity and isolation.
