Cables

About This Movie

Cables strikes a chord with its raw exploration of human connection, or the lack thereof. Its pacing feels contemplative, almost languid, as we drift alongside the characters through mundane moments like cooking pancakes or wandering by the river. The dialogues are unscripted, almost like overhearing a private conversation, layered with nostalgia and vulnerability. It’s not flashy, but that’s where its strength lies—the atmosphere captures an essence of modern loneliness. The choice of practical effects is minimal, keeping the focus on performances that feel authentically lived-in. The undefined relationship between the characters, reminiscent of real-life complexities, makes it stand out. The film isn't about grand gestures but rather the subtle weight of everyday emotions.
