Into It

About This Movie

Into It is a gritty exploration of human fragility, set against the backdrop of Chicago's vibrant yet harsh queer scene. The film dives into the lives of Simon, a hustler navigating his chaotic existence, and Evan, a cable show host whose charm hides deeper vulnerabilities. The pacing feels intentional, almost meditative at times, allowing the characters’ struggles to breathe. It captures that tension between despair and the fleeting nature of connection beautifully. The practical effects are subtle yet effective, heightening the film’s raw atmosphere. Performances are authentic, reflecting the inner turmoil of the characters. There’s something strikingly personal about it—maybe it’s that honesty in portraying their demons that sets it apart.
