Cycles

About This Movie

Cycles, from 2023, weaves an unsettling atmosphere that really pulls you in. The film depicts a dinner gone awry, and watching this severely codependent couple navigate their darkly humorous predicament is intriguing. The pacing feels intentionally disjointed at times, echoing their relationship's tumultuous nature. It's not just about the tension; there’s a raw, almost palpable vibe that the practical effects enhance, making the absurdity of their circumstances all the more striking. Performances are naturalistic—yet there's a simmering intensity that makes each interaction loaded with tension. It’s definitely a unique exploration of dependency and chaos, and that’s what makes it distinctive in 2023’s film landscape.

Cycles seems to have flown under the radar since its release, which might pique collector interest, especially as it presents a fascinating take on modern relationships. The physical formats available are somewhat limited, making it a rarity, and its themes certainly resonate within niche circles. I’ve seen a few collectors mention it in discussions, mostly appreciating its raw execution and character-driven narrative. It’s not on many shelves yet, so it could be worth keeping an eye on.
