About This Movie

So, 'Camel(s)' is this understated drama that kind of creeps up on you. You’ve got a man, a borrowed SUV, and a woman he hardly knows. They’re both stuck in their middle-aged lives, married, and it feels like they’re searching for something in each other, maybe just an escape. The pacing is slow, almost contemplative, which really lets the atmosphere sink in; it’s shot in these dimly lit, almost intimate spots that enhance the tension between them. The seafood dinner scene is particularly striking, filled with awkward silences that feel so real. Performances are pretty raw, nothing flashy, but you can feel the weight of their choices. It’s distinctive for how it captures that transient connection between two strangers amid the mundane.
