Angel

About This Movie

Angel (2020) dives deep into the disillusionment of an animator struggling to find his place. The pacing is slow, almost meditative, letting the viewer really sit with Lesha's despair. The rooftop scene feels hauntingly real, and there's something raw about the performances, especially from the leads. The film explores themes of success, desperation, and the human connection that can arise from the most unlikely situations. I found the practical effects quite minimal, but they serve the narrative well, keeping the focus on emotional resonance rather than flashy visuals. The atmosphere has a heavy, almost suffocating quality that lingers long after the credits roll, making it distinct in its approach to storytelling.
