Trauma is a Time Machine

About This Movie

Trauma is a Time Machine dives deep into the psyche of a woman grappling with the remnants of a violent past. The film has this raw, almost unsettling atmosphere—like you’re walking on eggshells through her emotional landscape. It’s not just about the trauma, but also her attempts at healing, which the pacing captures really well. There’s a blend of practical effects that lend a stark realism to her experiences, making the moments of self-destruction all the more poignant. The performances are intense, almost haunting at times, which adds layers to her struggle. It’s distinctive in how it portrays trauma not just as something that happens to us, but as something that shapes us, changes us. A unique take on a very heavy subject.
