As If Underwater

About This Movie

So, 'As If Underwater' is this introspective drama that really nails the essence of solitude. The film zeroes in on a 35-year-old woman, and it’s like you can feel her emptiness ooze through every frame. The pacing is deliberate, almost languid, which really lends itself to the theme of her mundane life cluttered with trivial objects. It’s not flashy; the practical effects are minimal, serving more as metaphors than anything else. The performance is raw, not overly polished, which makes it all the more relatable. There’s this palpable sense of melancholy throughout, and it kind of sticks with you. It’s one of those films that wants you to sit with your thoughts a bit longer than usual.
