Ellipsis

About This Movie

Ellipsis (2024) unfolds in an isolated chalet, where the atmosphere feels dense and claustrophobic. Leo, a mystery novelist, finds himself tangled in a web of intrigue when Jota, a journalist with a questionable vibe, pays him an unexpected visit. The pacing is deliberate, slowly peeling back layers of tension while exploring themes of identity and the facades we create. The film leans heavily on practical effects to enhance its eerie tone, which is quite distinct in a genre often reliant on CGI. Performances are nuanced, especially the dynamic between Leo and Jota, which keeps you guessing about motivations. It's a cerebral thriller that lingers in the mind long after the credits roll.
