Awfully Deep

About This Movie

Awfully Deep is an interesting blend of comedy and drama that dives into suburban life with a surreal twist. The film’s tone is often light yet tinged with dark humor as it explores the absurdity of a family confronting a bizarre intrusion into their pristine existence. The ‘doughy’ stuff that starts appearing outside their home serves as a metaphor for the messiness of life that these characters, particularly Edward and Susan, try desperately to avoid. The pacing meanders but in a way that allows you to soak in the atmosphere of their otherwise controlled world. Performances are solid, especially from the child actor playing Lino, who brings a genuine curiosity and innocence. It’s the practical effects that stand out too, adding a unique texture to the story, making it memorable for those who appreciate unconventional narratives.
