Under Control has this disquieting atmosphere, ya know? João and Maria live this almost mundane life, but it quickly unravels as they discover their existence is part of some grand illusion. The pacing kinda builds with tension, and you can really feel Maria's desperation to break free from the strings pulling her. It's fascinating how it plays with reality and perception; the shifts are subtle but effective. The performances are solid, especially in those quieter moments when the weight of their situation sinks in. Practical effects add a layer of grit, grounding the surreal elements. It’s a unique take on how control and manipulation can creep into our lives, blurring the lines of what's real and what's been crafted for us.
