Escaping Gravity

About This Movie

So, 'Escaping Gravity' is this intriguing drama from Benjamin Teske, released in 2013. The film dives deep into themes of identity and acceptance, which feels pretty raw and honest. Leonie's journey back to a childhood funfair, disguised as a man, adds this layer of nostalgia and tension. The pacing is quite deliberate, allowing you to soak in the atmosphere of the funfair, which is both whimsical and haunting. The performances, especially from the lead, are compelling—they really pull you into her struggle. Plus, there’s something about the old ghost train owner that adds a layer of mystery and depth. The practical effects are minimal but effective, enhancing that eerie vibe without overshadowing the story.
