About This Movie

So, 'Wake Me Up' dives into this dramatic and thrilling narrative, right? Zhenia, after her boyfriend goes missing, starts having these prophetic dreams. It’s a wild take on fate versus free will, set against Moscow’s gritty underbelly. The atmosphere is heavy with tension—each dream sequence really pulls you in, almost haunting. You can feel the weight of her choices as she tries to navigate this dangerous world. The performances are pretty compelling, especially Zhenia’s—she straddles that line between vulnerability and determination. The pacing keeps you on edge, too; it’s not rushed but never drags. The use of practical effects to illustrate her dreams adds a unique touch, making it more immersive than your typical thriller.
