Clean, Shaven

About This Movie

Clean, Shaven is a raw look into the mind of Peter Winter, a young guy with schizophrenia. Lodge Kerrigan's direction really captures that disorienting atmosphere—it's unsettling, almost claustrophobic. The use of sound is particularly striking; the electrical noise and jarring audio really immerse you in Peter's fractured reality. Peter Greene’s performance is both haunting and poignant, showcasing the depths of despair and desperation as he fights to reclaim his daughter. The pacing is intentional, slow at times, but it builds tension effectively. It's not your typical crime drama; it’s more of a psychological deep dive, and that’s what sticks with you long after the credits roll.
