About This Movie

So, 'Design' from 2002, directed by some unknown—I get the sense they wanted to keep it low-key, you know? The film dives into the lives of Chicago's underbelly, where sadness mixes with dark humor in a way that's both gritty and oddly relatable. It's not your typical comedy-drama; it has this raw energy and a pacing that sometimes feels almost off-kilter, which kind of adds to its charm. The performances, though, are quite solid, with a cast that embodies their roles with a kind of realism that’s refreshing. Practical effects are minimal but serve the film's vibe well. It's that mix of laughter and bleakness that really sets it apart.

Gritty urban setting · Unique blend of comedy and drama · Strong character performances
