Up to Me

About This Movie

Up to Me is an interesting exploration of youthful love and the blurred lines between reality and illusion. Milan and Nola, both just twenty, dive headfirst into a tragic pact that leads them to a psychiatric ward. The film's atmosphere is thick with a haunting, almost surreal quality, particularly through the lens of the old man who believes he is Nijinsky. His performances contrast with the raw, emotional depth of Milan and Nola’s journey, creating a tension that permeates the narrative. It’s not a typical love story; it navigates themes of mental health and the fragility of life with an unpredictable pacing that keeps you guessing. Visually, it's distinctive as well, with practical effects that enhance the dreamlike sequences.

Up to Me hasn't seen widespread release, making its physical copies rather scarce. The film has garnered a niche following among collectors who appreciate its unique blend of psychological themes and avant-garde storytelling. It’s one of those titles that you might stumble upon in a specialized collection, adding an intriguing piece to any library focused on independent cinema.
