Under Control

About This Movie

Under Control has this raw, gritty feel, capturing the struggle between nature and human intervention in Tallinn’s botanical gardens. It dives deep into the chaos of pests that seem to have no boundaries, and you can almost feel the tension rising with every escalating action taken against them. The pacing feels deliberate, almost meditative at times, allowing you to really absorb the frustration of the gardeners. The practical effects are minimal but effective, showcasing the real impact of these pests on the ecosystem. It's intriguing how the film doesn't shy away from showing the consequences of our attempts at control, making you reflect on broader themes of nature versus nurture. There's a certain weight to it, a realism that sticks with you.
