Night Forest

About This Movie

Night Forest is a curious blend of adventure and family themes that captures that feeling of childhood exploration. It’s like stepping into a world where the forest feels alive, filled with echoes of Paul’s missing father. The pacing is leisurely, allowing viewers to soak in the atmosphere of the Swabian Alb, which is beautifully shot. The boys' chemistry is genuine—Max and Paul feel like real friends, navigating both the tangible forest and their own emotions. Practical effects, especially in the cave sequences, lend a certain charm that CG often lacks.
