Androides

About This Movie

So, 'Androides' is an intriguing piece, really. It dives into the life of this androgynous preteen, not your typical coming-of-age story. The tone is heavy, dark in places, but it captures a certain rawness that's hard to shake off. There's this surreal atmosphere, especially in the scenes where he fantasizes about aliens, contrasted with the grim reality of his surroundings. The pacing feels methodical, almost disjointed at times, but it adds to the unsettling vibe. The performances, particularly from the boy and his neighbor, bring this authenticity that’s, well, disturbing yet fascinating. Practical effects are minimal, but they serve the story rather than distract. It’s definitely one of those films that leaves you pondering long after the credits roll.
