Zooey

About This Movie

Zooey is a quiet exploration of childhood and the weight of secrets. The film weaves a delicate atmosphere, almost dreamlike, as we follow Noah, a boy whose summer shifts when he meets Zooey in that nondescript motel. The pacing is slow but intentional, allowing the viewer to really sink into their bond and the nuances of their lives. The practical effects, minimal yet effective, enhance the sci-fi elements without overwhelming the core story. Performances are genuine; there's a rawness to their connection that feels authentic. The themes of innocence versus the burden of knowledge linger long after the credits roll, making it a thought-provoking watch for those who appreciate indie cinema’s quieter moments.

Atmospheric indie feel.Careful pacing suits the narrative.Interesting blend of genres.
