Live Dangerously

About This Movie

‘Live Dangerously’ dives into that murky territory of grief, revenge, and youthful impulsiveness. Valeri, the high school senior, is pretty relatable – good athlete, close to his dad, then bam, that heart attack throws everything into chaos. The film captures that raw emotional turmoil, with Valeri's descent into his obsession for revenge against the doctor creating this palpable tension. The pacing feels deliberate, almost mirroring his spiraling thoughts. What stands out, for me, is how it portrays the aftermath of loss and how it can warp perception. The performances bring a certain grit, especially from the lead, who embodies all that pent-up frustration and confusion. It’s a smaller scale project, but it has a certain edge that makes it linger in the mind.
