Victoriana, from 2014, presents a rather unsettling take on the American Dream. It’s a slow burn that pulls you into the lives of Tim and Sophie Becker, a couple whose renovation project becomes a descent into darkness. The pacing is deliberate, almost haunting, which really allows the tension to build gradually. You get this palpable sense of dread as their idealistic vision crumbles following a tragic confrontation. The performances are raw, especially how they embody the struggle of love versus ambition. The atmosphere feels thick, almost claustrophobic at times, which reflects their deteriorating relationship. Practical effects and set design add to that eerie, gritty Brooklyn vibe, making it a unique piece to discuss among collectors who appreciate character-driven narratives that don’t shy away from moral ambiguity.
