Wormwood – 25

About This Movie

Wormwood – 25 is a visually striking animated film that dives into Natasha's psyche. At 30, she’s trapped not just in a loveless marriage and an affair, but also in the shadows of her childhood trauma—specifically that childhood elevator incident. The animation style melds surrealism with a haunting atmosphere, really enhancing the sense of entrapment and confusion. The pacing is deliberate, allowing moments of introspection and tension to breathe. What stands out is how the film uses darkness not just as a theme, but almost as a character itself, reflecting Natasha's internal struggles. Performances, although animated, convey a raw emotional depth that lingers. It’s a curious exploration of duality in life and relationships.
