The Zoo

About This Movie

The Zoo (2020) is this quirky little comedy that plays with the boundaries of reality. You really feel this odd juxtaposition throughout, like you’re not quite sure if the protagonist is waking up or drifting off. The atmosphere feels a bit surreal, with a blend of absurdity and a hint of existentialism lurking beneath the surface. The pacing's intentionally erratic, which adds to its offbeat charm. The performances, though from relatively unknown actors, have this rawness that feels refreshing. Plus, the practical effects are surprisingly clever, enhancing that whimsical tone without overshadowing the narrative. It’s a film that sticks with you, not because it’s traditional, but because it dances on the edges of the bizarre.
