A Long Term Plan

About This Movie

A Long Term Plan is this quirky mix of adventure and comedy that dives into the odd world of Awad, a punk with a rather twisted view of family. The atmosphere has this chaotic energy, reflecting Awad's impatient wait for his mother to pass so he can seize her house and finally marry his long-time love, Eshta. The pacing is a bit uneven, which doesn’t always land but adds to its charm. The performances, especially Awad's, are quite expressive, blending humor with a hint of desperation. There’s something distinctive about the practical effects and the way it captures the essence of youthful rebellion, making it an interesting watch for collectors who appreciate the oddities of late 80s cinema.
