Autopilot

About This Movie

Autopilot is an interesting little slice-of-life drama that captures a certain kind of ennui. The pacing is deliberately slow, almost as if you’re caught in that lazy afternoon yourself. The use of practical effects is minimal, but there's something about the way the bicycle moves on its own that feels symbolic—reflecting how the characters are sort of victims of their own inertia. The performances are quite naturalistic, particularly from the boys making their internet videos; it’s like you're peeking into their world, filled with isolation and burgeoning awareness. The family dynamic is tense, drifting, and the reality that eventually circles back hits hard. It’s a film that lingers with you in its own subtle way, you know?
