If It Gets Dark

About This Movie

If It Gets Dark is a unique blend of comedy, drama, and music, capturing that raw, messy search for self-identity through the lens of young artists. The tone feels both poignant and reflective, with these moments of levity sprinkled throughout. You really get a sense of Angelo's internal struggle, particularly with his fixation on Lelay, the cashier, which adds a layer of melancholy and absurdity to the narrative. The pacing has this almost dreamlike quality – it sometimes drifts, echoing the characters' own sense of aimlessness. Practical effects are minimal, but the performances bring a heart to every interaction, making it feel intimate. It's definitely a film that's more about the journey than the destination, you know?
