TV-set (2020) is one of those films that quietly lingers in your mind long after watching. The director, whose identity remains a mystery, captures the monotony of everyday life with a stark realism. The pacing is deliberate, letting the audience sink into the protagonist's suffocating routine of work, home, and mindless TV. The atmosphere is thick with loneliness; it's almost palpable. The performances, particularly the lead's, convey a deep sense of frustration as she tries to reach out to her partner, only to be met with indifference. What stands out is how it uses practical effects, with the TV acting almost like a character itself, reflecting her despair. It’s a raw exploration of isolation in a digital age, definitely one to ponder over.
