Dust

About This Movie

Dust (2018) explores a very personal journey through the lens of family dynamics. The tone is often introspective, reflecting the internal struggles of Isaac as he navigates his gender re-assignment. The atmosphere is heavy with emotion, yet there are moments of quiet tenderness, especially in the relationship between Isaac and Logan. Pacing is deliberate, allowing the audience to really absorb the weight of their experiences. The performances are raw and compelling, particularly from the lead, who captures the complexity of identity beautifully. What stands out here is the use of practical effects in subtle ways to convey transformation—it's not flashy, but it resonates deeply with the narrative's themes of loss and acceptance.
