Walk Backwards is a raw glimpse into the life of Mikey, a young woman who wears her struggles both on her sleeve and on her bruised face. Laurie Maria Baranyay's directorial debut delivers a gritty, almost documentary-like vibe, leading you through a world of emotional turmoil and self-discovery. The pacing feels intentional, allowing you to sit with Mikey's pain and resilience. The atmosphere is heavy, and you can almost feel the weight of her experiences. The practical effects are minimal but striking, emphasizing the reality of her situation. The performances, particularly from the lead, are unvarnished and compelling, making you think about identity and the scars we carry—both visible and hidden.
