A Jar of Nuts

About This Movie

A Jar of Nuts is a quietly haunting exploration of despair, wrapped in a peculiar sense of dark humor. The film moves at a deliberate pace, allowing you to really sit with the main character's spiraling thoughts. What sets it apart is its raw, almost uncomfortable honesty about mental health. The middle-aged protagonist's plan, triggered by an unexpected family tragedy, feels painfully relatable. While the performances are understated, they linger long after the credits roll, making the film's atmosphere heavy with existential dread. The practical effects are minimal but effective, emphasizing the stark reality of life and death. It's the kind of film that sticks with you, even if it doesn't give you easy answers.
