Walkies (2022) presents a subtle yet incisive look at community dynamics through the lens of two dog-walkers, Vanessa and Carol. The film's pace is deliberate, allowing tension to build beneath the surface of mundane routines. It's easy to get lost in its atmospheric portrayal of a neighborhood that feels both familiar and unsettling. The performances are grounded, really capturing the nuances of everyday life while hinting at deeper societal issues.
