Central and Remote

About This Movie

So, 'Central and Remote' is this interesting character piece set in Austin, and it really digs into the complexities of relationships. You've got this couple who, on the surface, seem solid, but then they invite this friend who's down on his luck, and things start to unravel. The atmosphere feels pretty intimate, almost claustrophobic at times, which just enhances the tension. The pacing has these slow, deliberate moments that really let the characters breathe, and you can feel the weight of unspoken words hanging in the air. And the performances? They seem natural, like you’re eavesdropping on real people. It's not flashy, but there's something distinctive about how it portrays the search for belonging amidst personal struggles.
