Upside Down

About This Movie

Upside Down dives into the gritty underbelly of Lisbon amidst protests and austerity. The film has this raw, almost haunting atmosphere where Susana's loneliness contrasts with the chaos outside. You feel the weight of her solitude as she marches, almost invisible in the crowd. Jorge, on the other hand, is living in this odd state of limbo, trapped with his mom and sleepless nights. The pacing is reflective, giving you time to sit with the characters' thoughts. The performances are solid, with a real sense of authenticity in their struggles. What stands out is how their online lives blend with their reality—this tension between connection and isolation. It’s all very quietly powerful, you know?
