Nothing

About This Movie

So, 'Nothing' (2022) dives into a pretty unsettling exploration of nihilism through the lens of adolescence. The setup is intriguing—Pierre Anthon, this kid who just drops a bomb about life being meaningless, and then he literally climbs a tree. It's almost like you can feel the tension rising as his classmates grapple with their own beliefs and possessions. What’s striking is the atmosphere; it’s heavy, almost claustrophobic, and you can sense the weight of their existential crisis. Pacing feels deliberate, dragging you through their emotional turmoil, and the performances are raw, capturing that awkward intensity of 8th grade. It's an interesting take on how youth confronts big philosophical questions, and the practical effects they use to visualize their 'heap' of lost meanings are quite striking in their simplicity.

Explores themes of nihilism and existentialism. · Interesting character dynamics among middle schoolers. · Practical effects used to symbolize loss and value.
