Topside

About This Movie

Topside is a haunting exploration of survival and maternal instinct set against the stark backdrop of New York's underground. The film captures the chilling atmosphere of the abandoned subway tunnels, contrasting it with the brutal winter above ground. The performances, particularly from the young lead, are raw and unfiltered, bringing a sense of authenticity to their plight. The pacing might feel deliberate, but it immerses you into their world, making every moment impactful. You can really feel the grit and desperation, and Logan George's direction pulls no punches. It’s not your typical drama; it’s a meditation on home and belonging in the most unlikely places. Definitely sticks with you after the credits roll.
