A Kind of Madness

About This Movie

A Kind of Madness explores the raw edges of love and desperation. The film dives into the psyche of a 70-year-old man, who breaks his wife's heart and mind from the confines of her retirement home. The pacing is deliberate, almost dragging at times, which mirrors the weight of their shared history and his sense of urgency. It’s a tense ride, punctuated by moments of quiet reflection that make you ponder the ethics of love versus duty. Performances are raw, particularly the lead, who embodies both the fierce protector and the fractured soul. The atmosphere is heavy with a sense of impending doom, and the practical effects, though sparse, feel grounded in reality, making the audience question their own perceptions of sanity and loyalty as they navigate his madness.
