Treason

About This Movie

Treason (2020) blends comedy and drama in a very unique setting - a desert ranch where the protagonist, Grant Wilson, creates his own little nation with his family. The film's tone fluctuates between absurdity and genuine introspection, which keeps you engaged. Grant’s struggle for control feels oddly relatable, especially with the family dynamics at play. The pacing can be a bit uneven at times, reflecting the chaotic nature of his self-imposed rule. The performances are quite interesting; there's a rawness to the interactions that feels genuine. It’s not about grand visuals or extravagant effects, but rather the quirks of life and familial relationships in a fabricated world. It’s definitely distinct in its approach to themes of authority, questioning norms, and the absurdity of power.
