Upstate

About This Movie

Upstate is this intriguing blend of whimsy and melancholy, sort of like wandering through a dreamscape where the ordinary meets the surreal. The romantic triangle feels organic, unfolding with a gentle pace that allows the viewer to really soak in the visuals and the little moments—like the odd joy of omelet making or the quiet charm of alpacas. It’s got this layered vibe, you know? The practical effects, or I guess you could call them everyday textures, work beautifully to enhance the atmosphere. The performances have a quiet authenticity that draws you in, making the whole experience feel intimate and reflective about life's little disappointments and the passage of time. A unique entry in the indie scene of 2010 for sure.
