About This Movie

Mars (2022) delivers a quiet, introspective look at a teenager navigating the complexities of life in a world that feels both mundane and extraordinary. The film takes its time, almost languidly, allowing the audience to sit in the stillness of her thoughts. The atmosphere is thick with tension as she grapples with her desires versus societal expectations. The practical effects subtly enhance a few pivotal moments without overshadowing the narrative. Performances are grounded, especially from the lead, who brings a raw honesty to her character's journey. What stands out is the way it captures that fleeting moment when a single night can shift everything. It’s not flashy, but it lingers in your mind.
