Sergio A In both its visual and narrative aspects, this film precisely captures what independent cinema should be: honest, direct, and made with heart. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/09/25 Full Review Kendall M I find the film fascinating and the photography of it, let's not even mention it. The score is 5 stars for me, because I really loved it, it made me cry and feel bad for days on end, but I do consider the plot to be very cruel, sad, bad and disgusting, speaking of what the film itself is about, because of the themes it touches on, but I really recommend that you see this film once in your life. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 05/16/25 Full Review Robert M JGL is brilliant in this. There are many paths the film could have gone terribly wrong but somehow avoids those pitfalls and arrives safely in the end with power and resolution amongst the rubble. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 04/01/25 Full Review Dani G A film that was way under the radar until the day I watched it. Rough topics it touches, I had no idea of what would it be. Uncomfortable to say the least Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 03/18/25 Full Review Blu B Best performance I've ever seen from J.G.L. and an All Time Classic. Everyone is giving really good performances and the acting is really good. But Levitt is the standout. The music is really good too but I wish it was a bit more catchy on its own. Everything else is masterful. The close up wide shots, surreal scenes, the on location raw low budget look this has, really makes it meorable and stand out with a unique and honest look at trauma and how two people deal with the fallout from the same tramatic event. Even though the two kids never share the screen together for 90% of the runtime as we jump between them throughout their stories there united by the same event and the ebbs and flows of Acting out vs repressing. This doesn't attempt to try and give a Hollywood ending to it but is a honest and sincere look at childhood trauma. The Alien story also is avery unique twist on everything too for an already very unique subject matter. I will say this is very difficult to watch and not everyone should see this. If your a big fan of any actors in this than defintely give this a try. But know going into this, this is a very brutal raw and unforgiving look at the subject at hand with heavy NC-17 type stuff. If you can handle that than give it a watch. You won't regret it. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/16/25 Full Review Micaela M movie was sad as balls, so if you need to cry or be depressed and contemplative watch this Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/24/25 Full Review Read all reviews
