Tick Tock

About This Movie

Tick Tock is an intriguing exploration of grief and guilt centered around a young boy, Bryn, who is grappling with the tragic loss of his brother Johnner. The atmosphere is heavy, almost suffocating at times, which really draws you into Bryn's emotional turmoil. The pacing is deliberate, allowing viewers to immerse themselves in the slow unraveling of Bryn's psyche as he tries to make sense of his brother's death. There's a rawness to the performances, especially from the child actor, that feels genuine and unpolished, which adds to the film's emotional weight. The themes of responsibility and the fragility of life resonate deeply, making it a distinct entry in the realm of indie films dealing with loss.

Tick Tock is one of those films that seems to have slipped under the radar, with very limited releases and even fewer physical copies. The scarcity has fostered a niche collector interest, particularly among those who appreciate indie dramas with heavy emotional themes. It’s not commonly found in mainstream collections, making it a curious piece for those digging into the overlooked gems of the early 2010s.
