Nome and the Worm

About This Movie

Nome and the Worm offers a hauntingly intimate look at isolation through Nome's eyes, her only companion being a whimsical talking earthworm. The film captures a unique blend of surrealism and stark reality — the smallholding feels like a world unto itself, with practical effects that keep the focus on the emotional turmoil rather than CGI distractions. The pacing is deliberately slow, allowing a sense of dread to build as Nome's sheltered life unravels. Themes of friendship and existential dread are woven subtly throughout, making it distinct in its exploration of loneliness and connection. The performances, especially from the voice of the worm, provide an unexpected depth, drawing you into Nome's quiet yet tumultuous journey.
