Knucks

About This Movie

So, Knucks is an interesting piece from 2021 that dives into the lives of these two women after they kill their drug dealer. The tone is heavy, dark, but it has this raw edge that's hard to shake off. You can really feel the tension building—it's almost suffocating at times. The pacing has its own rhythm; it starts off slow, giving you space to digest the characters' motivations, then it hits you with these intense moments. The performances are gritty, really authentic. It doesn’t shy away from the practical effects when things get violent, which adds to that realism. Overall, it's a character study wrapped in crime and survival, offering a fresh perspective on desperation.
