Toast

About This Movie

So, Toast (2019) by Luka D'Cruz is this curious mix of comedy and thriller. You don't think toast could have a dark side, but here we are. The whole vibe is quirky, infused with this surreal tension as our protagonist grapples with his obsession. The pacing is a bit erratic, which oddly mirrors his mental state. There's a certain charm in the practical effects used in the toast-making sequences – you can almost smell the burnt bread through the screen. The performances are understated yet compelling, especially the lead, who really captures that inner turmoil. It's one of those films that sneaks up on you with its deeper themes about perfection and obsession, all wrapped up in a seemingly simple premise.
