Started Out Great...Then Went All Over The Place...
bronzesrv22 February 2024
The movie started out, very promising, and I did like the main character. I felt like a lot of his backstory was missing of why he was the way he was. For a while, you feel for the guy because he seems so traumatized and injured, at the same time that doesn't give him the right to project that onto others. I don't like to do spoilers so... Like I said, in the title, it started off very promising. It gets right to the point, but then midway through there is a lot of flashbacks and back-and-forth dreams that seemed to be confusing... In fact, I found myself rewinding the movie more than once, to see if I missed anything. There's also a scene with a drink and a roofie, but it doesn't show how it got there, again it makes you rewind the movie to make sure you didn't miss anything. I really liked the main male actor and I would love to see him in other films. This movie is good for a one time watch.

Good low budget flick!

Surprisingly I liked this low budget independent film. In spite of the actors all being unknowns, I thought they were all slightly above average. The main characters, the antagonist and protagonist did a very good job.

I never got bored, which is rare whenever I watch a movie with just two characters in it in the same location throughout. The story highlighted the incel phenomenon, which by the way I confess I Googled to find out the meaning since I had never heard of the word before. Basically it is a term closely associated with an online subculture of people who define themselves as unable to get a romantic or sexual partner despite desiring one.

One other thing which really impressed me about this movie was the some of the actors were very much involved in the production too, from catering to script supervisor to makeup and a few more categories.

I was very much impressed by Alyssa Corella who was in the lead role. Her IMDb shows that she has done many shorts. I am quite keen to see more from her in movies, be they indies or mainstream.

I recommend this although it might not be to everyone's taste.
