Away

About This Movie

So, 'Away' is interesting for a number of reasons, really. The film captures this kind of surreal atmosphere where flight becomes a metaphor for escape, and it's a stark contrast to the everyday struggles of the characters. The pacing feels deliberate, almost dreamlike at times, which suits its themes of yearning and freedom. Practical effects are used creatively, and it’s refreshing to see how they handle the boy's flight. The performances, especially by the lead teenager, carry a weight that resonates. It’s not your typical coming-of-age tale, and that’s what makes it stand out. There’s a kind of quiet sadness underscoring everything, which I think some collectors might appreciate.
