Waffle

About This Movie

Waffle is an intriguing gem from 2021 that dives deep into the life of a distinct character who, despite his mundane job, possesses a remarkable gift. The atmosphere is quite haunting, with a slow burn that keeps you on edge. Waffle's ability to hear leaks is almost metaphorical for his own emotional leaks, which adds depth to the narrative. The pacing is deliberate, allowing the viewer to ponder the layers of isolation and connection. It’s not flashy, but the practical effects during the descent into the pipes create a gritty, immersive experience. The performances are understated, yet they resonate well, especially as Waffle encounters that strange voice—there's something almost surreal in that moment. It's a film that lingers, asking you to reflect long after it ends.
