Neverland Now

About This Movie

Neverland Now is an intriguing exploration of youthful recklessness and the search for meaning. Kalina, an art student, embodies that chaotic spirit as she drags her friend Ruth into a spontaneous trip to Portugal. It’s not just about travel, though; it’s about the tensions in their friendship and Kalina’s impulsive nature that pushes boundaries. The pacing feels organic, mirroring the highs and lows of their journey, and the atmosphere is that kind of dreamy haze you associate with long, carefree days of youth. The performances ring true, especially in the small, quiet moments that expose vulnerability. There’s a rawness to it all that makes it stand out, and while the direction may be unknown, the film finds a unique voice through its characters’ unraveling dynamics.
