Luna's Game

About This Movie

Luna's Game has this raw vibe, you know? It dives deep into the world of poker, but it’s really about relationships and survival. The pacing’s a bit slow, which matches the tension of the casino scenes, making each hand feel like a small eternity. The performances are what drew me in; the lead captures the desperation of trying to escape a father’s shadow and carve out her own path. There's a gritty atmosphere that hangs around the casinos, and you can almost smell the smoke and hear the shuffling cards. It's not flashy with effects, but it has a grounded, authentic feel that makes the stakes feel real. Definitely a film that lingers with you after watching, you can sense the struggle.
