Amateur Couple

About This Movie

Amateur Couple is an interesting exploration of intimate dynamics in a cramped setting. Spicchietta and Bagigio’s relationship feels both tender and stifled, which really sets the tone. The pacing is deliberate, allowing the audience to sit with their discomfort, which I think is a bold choice. The film's atmosphere is quite claustrophobic, underscored by the starkness of their shared living space. You can really feel the weight of their unspoken tensions. The performances are raw, especially as they navigate love, doubt, and a yearning for something beyond their current existence. It’s distinct in its minimalistic approach, showcasing how a small environment can amplify emotional noise. Definitely a piece that lingers after viewing.
