Knockdown (2020) is a raw drama that dives into the depths of despair and redemption. The protagonist, a down-and-out owl, embodies a unique blend of apathy and desperation as he dons a Santa Claus costume, selling 'presents' to children on New Year’s Eve. The atmosphere is heavy, reflective of his past glory as a boxer, which contrasts sharply with his current state. Pacing feels deliberate, allowing you to sit with the weight of his choices and losses. The practical effects are understated but effective, enhancing the realism of his gritty journey. Performances are grounded, with a subtlety that brings depth to his struggle. It's a film that resonates with anyone who’s grappled with failure and the flickering hope of second chances.
