Ludwig the Hedgehog

About This Movie

Ludwig the Hedgehog explores the darker aspects of ambition and morality through the lens of Arthur, a successful attorney who’s a bit of a morally gray character. The film's tone is heavy, yet it weaves in moments of unexpected tenderness, especially as Arthur navigates his relationships. The pacing feels deliberate, allowing for reflection on Arthur's choices—he’s not just a cold predator; there’s depth to his character. The practical effects and cinematography work well to create an atmosphere that mirrors Arthur’s internal conflict. Performances are solid, with a nuanced portrayal of how ambition can sometimes blind us to the humanity of others. It diverges from typical courtroom dramas by focusing on the psychological rather than the procedural, which sets it apart.
