Golem

About This Movie

Golem (2022) has a dark, moody atmosphere that draws you in from the start. The science fiction elements are intriguing but not overly flashy, which I appreciate. There’s a unique blend of practical effects that really hones in on the film’s themes of creation and existential dread. It feels like a meditation on what it means to bring something to life—there’s a weight to the narrative that lingers. Pacing fluctuates; some moments feel like they stretch time in a way that heightens tension. Performances are solid, with an understated intensity that keeps you engaged. It’s distinctive in how it approaches classic sci-fi concepts without resorting to the usual tropes. Definitely more thought-provoking than your run-of-the-mill genre fare.
