Trou

About This Movie

Trou is an intriguing piece of fantasy that dips into the uncanny. Alice’s journey home is muddied by a creeping dread, both physical and metaphysical. That stomach ache isn’t just discomfort—it’s a gateway to something darker. The pacing feels deliberate, almost languid at times, enhancing the surreal atmosphere. The practical effects are effective, leaning into the grotesque without overpowering the story. There’s this eerie tension that builds as Alice grapples with her internal and external conflicts. It’s less about what’s shown and more about the feelings it evokes. The performances, especially Alice’s, carry a weight that lingers. It’s not your typical fantasy fare; there’s a haunting quality that makes it distinct in its own right.
